If you buy a brick, expect it to act like a brick :) Don't worry, there are plenty of Android phones to choose from ...
 
Well, something is fishy. I am on Vodacom and on BIS. I can understand that BIS is down from RIM servers, but Vodacom, why can I not call from my phone? Why did my signal drop to SOS status a few times during the day? Why did even my Vodafone Modem lost connection for a few hours today? Why has this been a problem in Nelspruit for almost every Vodacom user? Is it really just Blackberry, or are you hiding behind BIS?

Incorrect.

"Service Impact: Subscribers may experience delays in sending or receiving messages, roaming in another location, or using other services such as Internet browsing or instant messaging. Subscribers may also be unable to create new accounts, integrate third-party email accounts, or use BlackBerry subscriber web sites. Devices may not receive new service books. BlackBerry-enabled devices that request a new PIN may not receive a PIN. BlackBerry Enterprise Servers may be unable to connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure. Wireless service providers and device resellers may experience delays in using BlackBerry administration web sites, creating subscriber accounts, or provisioning services for subscribers."

Note: Further BES SRP connectivity may be impacted if your ISP routes with Seacom, pending your ISP's backup strategy, you may see intermittent concerns.
 
Do you think it has something to do with recording BBM messages and contacts?
ICASA was investigating it earlier this year.

Nice ! Delay makes it seem better than Down - No email on my BB since just after !2pm and no BBM either - must remember that - Your server is not down, the service is just delayed !
 
i can sense the service crashing shortly after coming back up due to the back log :(
