MOTO BLUR Service Outage: Nothing Is Happenings

We got a tip from Jason (thanks) who let us know that the Official Motorola Support Forums are ablaze from Motorola Android Phone owners relying on MOTO BLUR. Dozens and dozens of people are saying “Happenings stopped working” and essentially all of the MOTO BLUR related widgets and information streams have stopped updating.

It’s no small problem either: users are reporting that T-Mobile claims Motorola’s BLUR servers are down and that the issue is global in scope. Most of the comments verify the outage and everyone seems to agree that the outage began on or shortly after March 19th. Are you a MOTO BLUR user experiencing downtime?

T-Mobile has assured customers that Motorola is working on solving the problem and we have no primary source accounts of the issue – we’ll try to track that down. But my question is… now that you don’t have BLUR, do you miss it? There has been a varying opinions on BLUR, with my own opinion being if you don’t like it just remove the widgets, but I’d be interested to hear if folks who didn’t initially like BLUR are finding themselves longing for it during the outage?

It seems Castle from our own AndroidForums has pointed out the same thing – chime in over there if you’ve got any insight!
