If you're a Verizon customer and your phone is having a data connection issue, you are not alone.

Verizon has confirmed that its data is down across the nation.  It doesn't matter if you are using a Droid, Blackberry or other smartphone, so take comfort that your pain can be felt all across that red map so prominently featured in those awesome? commercials.

UPDATE:  According to Verizon, via this tweet, the problem has been corrected.  If you are still having issues, you a. can't see the tweet, and b. need to contact Verizon
