Not sure how trustworthy my source is, but I heard it from another Blackberry Site that RIM has announced that it will be holding another service outage in order to do some system upgrades (possibly preparing for the release of the 9000?). It will occur 2am - 6am EST for this Saturday morning, May 3rd so don't be alarmed if you're not able to browse the internet when your asleep.

It is true- Here's the link from last week mentioning it.

Mine was acting up a little this moring. And a battery pull only got me edge, I did a Diagnostic in Connection manager after that and got EDGE and it seems to be fine. But I do hate NW outages so.
