You’ve probably heard by now that the BlackBerry outage most everyone experienced yesterday was caused by the last two releases of BlackBerry Messenger, versions 5.0.0.55 and 5.0.0.56. RIM is asking via their official BlackBerry Help Twitter account that everyone update BlackBerry Messenger on their devices to version 5.0.0.57, which was released just yesterday

There is no doubt that just about every BlackBerry blog out there is going to have something about your BIS outage posted today.  It makes no sense that your own blog says nothing.  The BIS outage itself makes you look bad.  Being so closed lipped about it makes you look inept
