Since when is reporting Blackberry news being political?]]>Aug 8th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/What I would like to know is how does this affect me or people actually reading this.

The sad part is people here in Saudi are just so indifferent and passive about the whole thing. They're all like "Oh well, guess I should get another phone..." Something as basic as saying something negative about the regime is out of the question. It makes Iran look like Sweden.

However, I hope this post doesn't follow me around.]]>Aug 8th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/

These countries need to look at the big picture, frequent porn helps prevent adultery. The "moral" thing to do would be pass out free porn on the streets.

Some -alright most- would say that porn leads to a rise in adultery... When you're taking your sexual charge away from your significant other (to a porn site), the idea of taking it to another woman becomes more accessible.]]>Aug 8th 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/Aug 8th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/Aug 8th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/Australia will be next if Labor are re-elected.]]>Aug 8th 2010 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/Aug 8th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/Aug 8th 2010 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/

Thanks, KSA. Now that you've got RIM by the palm of your hands, we'll just mooch off the goods like some sort of goon!"

That was just a speculative answer from Kuwait if all goes wrong.

well o.k. that was bit over the top, but new markets like these are massive to phone companies like rim and if they lost them it would damage the company. hence the reason they they came to an agreement.]]>Aug 8th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/08/kuwait-wants-rim-to-filter-blackberry-traffic-saudi-arabia-test/You are right about not RIM not "needing" these countries, but actually it have been strong market for RIM especially on the high ends. It is exactly the same for the world largest smartphone and phone manufacturer Nokia.

India in a other hand is a market that all of these brands need to be strong if they wanna look good in a future too. India have already been the largest cell phone market for couple of years and it will only be more and more important in a future.
