[h=2]BlackBerry users have been cut off from online services again today, after RIM, the Canadian firm behind the smartphone brand, said it had fixed the problems that caused an outage on Monday that lasted up to 20 hours.[/h]
Users have once again taken to Twitter to vent their frustration, with many pledging to switch to an iPhone or Android device.

A spokesman for RIM declined to comment on the latest technical failure, which struck at around 1PM.

It followed a statement by the firm on its official Twitter account this morning that said "BlackBerry services have been restored".

Once again users across Europe, the Middle East and Africa have been affected. All three regions are served by a RIM data centre in Slough, Berkshire.

A spokesman for the mobile network O2 said its BlackBerry users were unable to access the internet, or sent emails or BBM instant messages.
 
If I were these users, I would think long and hard about an iPhone. I have one and it is a POS. I have been in contact with Apple, the phone is working fine. I have been in touch with my carrier and they said that I can't expect great service because I am almost 10Km from the tower. My niece was down the other day and she has an iPhone but different carrier and she has the same problem with no service, much of the time. In her case she is with the carrier that owns the tower. I'd never recommend an iPhone.
