  • Mossad used blackberries to connect with each other when they killed AL-Mabhoh and when the UAE asked the company to co-operate with them, they refused to give them any Information. so, after this accident Saudi Arabia and UAE and India, i think, will ban some services because they didn't cooperate with them in their investigation so why would us risk the safety of the people who come to our countries

  • Good for them! Terrorists don't deserve BlackBerry anyways!!!

    What are they gonna do, send texts and emails plotting their next plane attack on the US? We need these terrorists monitored!
