BlackBerry BIS down nationwide?

We have been getting tips all morning that RIMs BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) has been down for a number of hours nationwide, for all carriers. Unfortunately this outage looks like its not just the email portion of the BIS service, but all data as well, which is quite frustrating. Is your BlackBerry data not working?

Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

It is called the AC313 and it is China’s newest aviation product. According to Chinese news sites, the large-scale helicopter made by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (中国航空工业集团公司) fills a gap in the country’s homemade offer. The AC313 took its first flight on the 18. March in Jingdezhen (景德镇), Jiangxi province (江西). Capable of transporting 27 passengers or 15 injured and lifting up to 13,8 tons, the helicopter is designed for a wide range of civil applications like disaster relief, fire-fighting, sightseeing, etc… It has a maximum autonomy of 900 kilometers.
