BBC NEWS | Business | Blackberry reveals failure cause

The maker of the Blackberry wireless e-mail device says an insufficiently tested software upgrade was the cause of this week’s network failure.

Oh dear me. Not a good day to be the person who was responsible for that upgrade! I feel totally lost without my mobile email, so I have sympathy for everyone in the US, Canada and other chunks of the world that it affected. Research In Motion (RIM) have not come up with a figure of how many people were affected, however the BBC are quoting 8 million worldwide users, so it’s pretty safe to say it was at least a few million.
