Thousands of BlackBerry users across North and South America were left in the dark Thursday as the company reported a widespread email outage.
A spokeswoman with Research in Motion said the outage only affects emails sent and received on personal BlackBerry accounts. The majority of users on corporate plans should not have any interruption in service.
