Cingular, no delays at all on mine, just sent a test email from my gmail acct.

I did have issues late last week for ~3-4 hours, but today it is working fine.... interesting.

more info:

The RIM Company, which stands for Research In Motion, developed blackberry technology and said its infrastructure failed around 8 p.m. Tuesday and was until about 7 a.m. Wenesday.

E-mails were not being pushed to portable blackberry devices.
Officials with RIM said they tried to reset the system and they were concerned that the backlog of data, which could cause a bigger problem as it rushes through now that the system appears to be online.

RIM officials said messages would be sent out in stages so the system does not crash.

apparently they are up but have a back log.

you might have been one of the lucky ones
