Research in Motion (RIM)<\/a> has informed operators that their BlackBerry<\/a> Messenger (BBM), BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) and BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) email and browsing are operational, but warned that some users may see message delays as queues clear.<\/p>\n

RIM indicated that around 30% of subscribers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region are currently impacted.<\/p>\n

On their BlackBerry Service Update website RIM said that they continue to work on clearing the message backlog to eliminate delays.<\/p>\n

The BlackBerry outage started on Monday 10 October, and was caused by a core switch failure within RIM\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested,\u201d RIM said in a statement two days ago.<\/p>\n

Update:\u00a0<\/strong>Managing director of Blackberry maker Research In Motion, Stephen Bates, has spoken to the BBC about the problems.<\/p>\n
