Friday was a very sad day for Blackberry lovers in Saudi as the services were blocked. People were seen selling their devices for half price on the streets of Saudi. This was done as RIM did not respond to Saudi's government's warning that it should allow access to its encoded data sent out of the country to its server in Canada. This caused a lot of havoc in the corporate market in Saudi. But now, its not clear whether this was due to the ban or due to the servers being tested. Some say that it was a glitch due to the testing of the servers, but, some newspapers reported that the services were banned and there was no communication possible from or to the devices.
Reportedly, the services were back the next morning and it is assumed that it was just a glitch. But nevertheless, the fear of the services getting blocked still haunts Blackberry owners here. The services would be shown a green signal by the authorities only if RIM issues the authorities monitoring rights. And, this situation is expected in other countries like the UAE and India for the same reasons.
Blackberry lovers in some parts of the world like the middle east and some countries in Asia are not really happy from a few days. This is because the concerned countries' governments are planning to ban the Blackberry services in their countries due to security risks. Now, this is a well known fact.
The reason being, Blackberry uses a proprietary encoding technique for all the data transaction happening through its devices. These data are stored in a server located in Canada. The governments have asked Blackberry to cooperate in making the situation better by letting the authorities tap the encoded data and examine. This is necessary due to the increase in terrorism worldwide.
The governments of the concerned countries have warned Blackberry that they would ban its services if the company doesn't agree to this. But Blackberry has said that it can't help the authorities in this because the encoding algorithm used by it is of very high security and even if it wanted, it couldn't hack the system. This, obviously, is not an answer that the governments want.
Recently, Bruce Schneier, a security expert, chief security technology officer for BT said "I could design a good hundred ways to gain access". Officials with Canada's RIM did not respond to a request for comment. Security experts around the world say that attacking the network's most vulnerable points, the Blackberry smartphone itself and the Blackberry server, would be a solution. These points, the two extreme end points for the communication to take place, are supposed to provide would-be hackers access to unscrambled data.
Tyler Shields, who works for the Burlington, Massachusetts based security firm Veracode, released a spyware program earlier this year for attacking Blackberries via the handset. "I wanted to demonstrate that Blackberry handhelds are susceptible to spyware", said Shields. So now, if RIM doesn't nod to the governments, they may hack the networks themselves or ban the company's services completely very soon.

Here we are at the 12th edition of the Questions and Answers “series” and this post is a little special being compared to the other ones. This time, I’m going to try to pick only questions users have about the BlackBerry accessories and answer them in this post.
RIM and AT&T just announced the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 slider and as you might know, there were a lot of rumors on the internet about it and some “spy photos” too. Most people thought that this was going to make part of Storm family but it doesn’t as you see. I was quite expecting that because there is no Storm with so many buttons.
This kind of wallpapers are fashionable at this time and from the few fashionable things that I like, this is one of them. I know that the title won’t suggest you what are these wallpapers about but the main image should suggest you the content of these wallpapers.
If you’d ask me, I’d be sure that in this break we took, the guys from elecite launched at least one new theme but there is more than one so I chose the best looking one that they were also promoting it at the top screen.
I looked for the best action game in the app world because these are my favorites and most of them are pretty addictive. I chose the first one which is free and it’s a rare thing to see the best app / game to be free.
Here we have an app that is found in the top free apps so when I saw that, I was pretty curious what is it about and it was enough for me to see a screenshot to make me laugh.
It has been a while since I made the last post on this blog but I had a reason for that and it’s not the thing that I don’t want to be a writer on this blog anymore.
Motorola CHARM is one of the newest products coming from Motorola being announced this month but it’s expected to be launched in August. What I want to do is to compare it with the BlackBerry Bold 9650.
First of all I want to say that both phones are based on the same format but the BlackBerry Bold 9650 has rounded shapes while the Motorola CHARM is quite different than that but it depends on each customer’s “taste”.
