Blackberry services down in Europe, Middle East and Africa

[Jimbuna]

Millions of Blackberry owners across Europe, the Middle East and Africa have been left without services following a server crash.
Owners of the smartphones were unable to browse the web, send email or instant messages.
The problem appears to have originated in a data centre in Slough which handles Blackberry services for the affected regions.
Blackberry UK said it knew about the problem and was "investigating".

Android is definatley the best value mobile platform with out a doubt
Apples stuff just isnt worth the price at all. its all just clever branding & marketing with them, nothing more.
As a developer though, IOS is prefered because of the standardised hardware. testing for Android hardware is a bitch and a half.... so many devices.
