RIM will not fold for UAE. It's already released it's statement on it's thoughts the day after UAE announced the ban.

I also think that shittysalat needs to get their act together. The packages they are offering are unfair to non bb subscribers.

It doesn't look like an authentic article. I doubt RIM would bend over.

From the Washington Post, RIM's statement:
"RIM cannot accommodate any request for a copy of a customer’s encryption key, since at no time does RIM, or any wireless network operator or any third party, ever possess a copy of the key."

RIM said.

"This means that customers of the BlackBerry enterprise solution can maintain confidence in the integrity of the security architecture without fear of compromise

UAE may be the richest or luxurious country but at half a million subscribers it is not a very big market for RIM.

On the other hand China and India is a huge market for RIM which is why they have agreed to China's demand and will most probably agree to India. UAE cannot compare themselves to India or China in terms of economy and wring RIM's wrist on this issue.

But I do hope BB services remain in place in UAE
