Default Blackberry

Does anyone know if these are available in Dubai?

P.S. No, not the fruit.

Blackberries are not the only fruit.

It's a pesky device that gives you email access, meaning no excuses to your boss for not reading emails.

Surprisingly I can help you on that – for copious K at least….

Etisalat are testing 15, yep 15 devices all with Emirates at the moment. There is another 6 weeks or so to go of tests, before Etisalat decide whether to support/supply them.

My boss has a small blue number with him as he wings his way to Canada whilst we speak (or type).

So no, they’re not supported, but yes, Etisalat will probably be providing them from May onwards.

Hope that helps – as to whether Du will be providing them tho, we’ll have to wait and see.

Don't believe you can get them here, but if you get one in the US and bring it here (with the worldwide service plan) it will work fine.

I had mine for 1.5 years here and it worked great. Doesn't work in Jordan, Sudan, or Iraq though.

Blackberry are about to disappear due to a US copyright court case. So shop around and find an alternative

Yeah but no bugger wants them! Brand new they sell for US$600, I'll be lucky to $150.
Still they'll work regardless of the legalities.

It's unlikely to be shutdown due to the amount of government departments who now depend on the Blackberry at work, judge is pushing the two parties to settle.

The case is only for the US, meaning rest of world can still go on using them...although I'm not too keen on having to get one myself!

He's right, it will never be shut down...too much depending on it already.

Which in a way is scary...in one of those 'too dependent on tech' kind of ways.
