Blackberry Banned in UAE and Saudi Arabia

United Arab Emirates banned the use of Blackberry Bold 9000 and blocking delivery of emails, internet access, and sending instant messages to other Blackberry handsets.

Prohibition on the Blackberry Bold 9000 is because there are sensors that send data automatically terinkripsi that Saudi Arabia is not able to monitor email communications that occur on the handset.

Saudi Arabia would make this ban in October, but the ban has started since this month. The number of Blackberry users in the UAE is estimated about 500,000 users, and 400,000 in Saudi Arabia.
