Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
Do you think the NSA or any of the western govt agencies do not snoop on the Blackberry comunications of every country on the planet. Get off your self-righteous western ass and stop advising other countries what to do. If you cant get your own providers to say FU to your own governments, shut up and do something more productive.
Also, I dont think the article gives the full picture. One of the major concerns for the government was that it appeared that ALL traffic (including local traffic between two blackberrys in India) was being routed through the server in Canada as they had not set up such infrastructure in India. As more and more govt officials and company execs in India get blackberrys, the govt wants to ensure that the the traffic is more secure. IIRC they had the exact same issue in France and parlimentarians there have been asked not to use blackberrys as external govermnments can snoop on their communication.
I haven't really been following the issue, but I see the point about potentially sensitive traffic going through another country's servers. But then why couldn't they just insist RIM set up a privately-run Blackberry network in India? Why does the traffic of that network have to be available for the government to see?
Oh please, you're the one who needs to get over your high and mighty self.
So because the NSA may or may not possibly be snooping in our BBerry's we have no right to criticize the Indian govt from BLATANTLY doing the same? HA! Where the hell do you come off?
For the record, no one was more pissed off at my own US Govt when the Patriot Act was passed, so it's not I blindly support my own idiotic govt while I criticize others.
You best take your panties out of the major wad they're in and stop trying to excuse the Indian govt for this gross and unjustifiable invasion of privacy.
