Remember the BlackBerry outage? You know, the one that happened on Monday? Palm sure didn't, and they're betting that you didn't either, which is why they've taken out advertisements in major newspapers across the country to simultaneously kick RIM in the nads and pump up their own service. As you can see above, they're emphasizing "uptime" and "no nationwide blackouts." If you're going to be this transparent, why not just come out and say "Hey BlackBerry customers, we suck less hard than your current provider!" Classy, Palm. Real classy. [Palm via Cool Smart Phone]
