I have my first Blackberry for a couple of weeks, and now this:

Massive Blackberry System Failure

Looks like Research In Motion is suffering a major outage over all of the United States. We believe the outage started around 8pm EST today judging from incoming reports. Users cannot receive or send email, access Blackberry Enterprise Servers, or renew their service books. If this lasts longer than a few hours, we could see it affect how the markets open tomorrow.

7 am and it doesn’t appear to be back up (got 1 piece of email at 1 am, still no browser). So if people you do business with seem harder to reach today, this is why.
