UAE suspend blackberry services
UAE are suspending all blackberry data services from October 11th. I find this crazy. This can only happen in dubai!

Quite a while ago, Etisalat sent a patch to be able to monitor the message traffic, but it received a big reaction and RIM denied this "enhancement patch!!" and issued a new one to reverse it.

Etisalat was for long waiting for this!

BBM in Saudi, not Blackberry generally.

There are threads on this in Travel Technology and OMNI...
