    Tell you what, it feels nice not having my BlackBerry 'working' for a few hours.

    Doubtless I'll be bombarded with an email deluge tonight.

    As they say in Worms... Incoming!

    You know you've got a good IT department when you're aware of such issues before they are, though.

    Noticed a lot of angry BlackBerry users on Facebook...

    What I don't understand is, why aren't emails coming through? What has that got to do with RIM?

    Don't all emails go over the RIM server for encryption.
