E-mail service of Research In Motion's BlackBerry smartphones experienced a
"critical severity outage" on Monday, the company told clients in an
e-mail.

"This is an emergency notification regarding the current BlackBerry
Infrastructure outage," RIM support account manager Bryan Simpson said in
an e-mail. The message said the outage affected enterprise clients and
"users of the Americas network."

RIM was not immediately available for comment and its e-mail gave no
estimate on when service may be restored or how many individuals could be
affected.

Last April, a massive outage crashed BlackBerry service across North
America, leaving thousands of users without access to wireless e-mail.
