Report: RIM Agrees to UAE Monitoring Request

A day after the United Arab Emirates threatened to suspend some BlackBerry services for fear they are a threat to national security, Research In Motion (RIMM) is taking steps to allay those concerns. First, it released a statement emphasizing its commitment to security.

“RIM respects both the regulatory requirements of government and the security and privacy needs of corporations and consumers,” the statement reads. “RIM does not disclose confidential regulatory discussions that take place with any government. However, RIM assures its customers that it is committed to continue delivering highly secure and innovative products.”

Second, it met with UAE authorities and offered to give them the information they need to monitor BlackBerry services.

“After some persuasion, the (BlackBerry) representative agreed that they can provide the Metadata of the message ie the IP address of the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) and PIN & IMEI of the BlackBerry mobile,” internal notes from the meeting reveal. “The concerned internet service provider can also tell the location of the services as well. From these information, the security agencies can easily locate the BES and obtain the decrypted message. They also stated that they have a setup to help the security agencies in tracking the messages in which security agencies are interested in.”

White Bold II From Maxis

When White Bold II were introduced, the hype was so great, people just can't wait to get hold of it, after the usual, classic black covers for
BlackBerry (BB).
   Then Maxis announced they are bringing in the Whites, Bold II 9700 who should decides to be amongst the first to grab it, if not Nelson Rizal.
   BBUGMy was told, Nelson, or fondly known among us as Nel, has been using Storm I for about a year, after he purchased it in Jakarta.
   "The BB has been loyal to me, since I got it in Jakarta.
   "A great BB with bug touch screen, but unfortunately it also has some touch screen problems and frequently hangs on me," said Nelson, when asked about his newest BB collection.
   Nelson said, sometimes the old faithful Storm I would hang for almost 15 minutes (much to his frustration), and after the Whites were introduced, back in June for Malaysia market,he decided it was about time for him to get a new BB devices, since as he put it, "I'm gonna do lots of chats (wink wink) and answering questions".

He then decided that his choice would be BB Bold II and placed the order for the Whites with Maxis.
   Then the email came, notifiying Nelson that he should be getting his BB White Bold II in Menara Maxis at 3 pm on June 27, 2010.
   With happy heart, Nelson met the store supervisor, Mr Ravindran Nagappan who hand over the device to the rightful owner.
   It turned out to be, Nelson is the 44th owner of the White Bold II!
   "I'm a happy person, thinking no more touch screen (believed us, we know hehe). Got everything transferred and installed and my new BB White Bold II is ready to use.

   "I'm quite happy with the processor and the memory. No more hangs (finally!), lags, easier to type (we told you so) fast access with its sleek design.
   "Even so, I do miss the Storm I big screen, and I do feel the smaller and harder keypads are the slight downside of my new Whites," said the proud owner.
   It has been a month since Nelson converted from the touch screen Storm I to keypads punching White Bold II and now he is happily chatting away with his friends and fans without hassle and glitch.
