At least it should be possible to deploy a NON signed application on your OWN phone or simulator, well you know ... the way it WORKS on Android ...
Not that I would defend RIM's signing server setup as a global single point of failure, but you have always been able to deploy and run unsigned apps to a simulator. As long as the simulator's device security is disabled, those apps should run fine.
A simulator is not the same as a real device. I wanted to test some performance related changes and there is no way to get a good feel for that on the emulator.
I agreed. You can not always depend on the simulator. For simple GUI apps yeah it works and can be tested easily on the sim but for specific device depend stuff you need to run and test it on the real device. also if you work late and decide to finish off the work in morning like I do and then the server goes down. This has been going on for months now with server problems. If my memory is correct this happens once every month or sometimes every other week. why can't rim just fix the **bleep** thing. I sure they can hire a couple of interims. Now i'm wasting my time reading old postings 
RIM really can't be surprised they're losing developer support left and right. Issues like these seem to be commonplace and there doesn't seem to be any real attempt to remedy the problems. I've been developing on the platform for two years and there's been little to no improvement in regards to server and service stability, it's a real mess.
Still waiting on my files to sign, they're going through, just very slowly. I like Quake
