But now, for the first time ever, the ''Crack-berry'' has had some of its KEY Services blocked in the Middle East , that btw separates it from all the other phones, blocked. These include the instant messaging service of the blackberry !!
Don't worry, it's only been banned in two countries: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the 'Investor Friendly'' United Arab Emirates.The aftershocks of this :
a) People probably want their money back after buying a blackberry ( since the chief reason of its purchase was the instant messaging service).
b) Makes security easier to maintain in both countries (Another reason for banning the services was that it prevents the Governments from 'listening' into people's conversations, i.e. More Privacy)
c) Could lead to more bans in the region.
Thankfully, Bahrain said that it will not ban The key services of the Blackberry, so a huge sigh of relief from BB users.
I'm asking myself why am I writing a post about BB, even though I HUGELY dislike the BlackBerry (my opinion).
The above comments does not wish to insult the countries above and in no way is it defaming the Blackberry, it is an informative post.
