Blackberry Problems Continue... What am I thankful for?

I know it's a few days past Thanksgiving here in Canada but you know what I'm thankful for?   I'm thankful I don't work in RIM's technical support department.   With the stock falling and the CEO having to make a public apology, there must have been some sleepless nights in Waterloo this week.   

There may be more to come as the problems still haven't cleared.   Will this be a watershed event in the company's history?  Time will tell, of course, but if the QNX-based Blackberries that RIM plans for next year don't have that "wow" factor necessary to pull some momentum away from its competitors, I hate to think where RIM goes from there.

Here's the latest news on the outage:
