Research in Motion (RIM) shares are holding up well despite a second service outage in one week for North American and South American users of the BlackBerry, following last Thursday’s crash.
RIMM shares are up 16 cents, or 0.4 percent, at $67.38.
The Toronto Star reports this morning that the outage has ended and that RIM says the problem was with software for BlackBerry Messenger, a real-time communications program on the phone similar to instant messaging.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
