Blackberry Torch 9800
The maker of the
BlackBerry smartphone confirmed on Monday that an
outage had hit some of its services in
Europe, the Middle East and
Africa.
Canada-based Research in Motion said it was investigating the disruption
that has led to many user reports of not being able to receive or send
email, or use instant messaging, or being able to browse the Internet.
The problems did not appear to be the same for each user, or affect
all users, according to Twitter messages about the BlackBerry.
"We are working to resolve an issue currently impacting some
BlackBerry subscribers in Europe, Middle East and Africa," Research in
Motion said in an emailed statement.
"We're investigating, and we apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused whilst this is resolved."
