Quite scary to think they can now see what you were emailing and to who...makes me happy I don't have a Blackberry really.

Etisalat is messed up on so many levels.

To avoid further Etisalast sabotage:

From the Blackberry go to Options
Select Advance Options,
Select Applications,
Select Registration.
Change all options from “Allow” to “Deny”.
Restart the unit when prompted

To remove the Patch already installed please follow the Blackberry official website they have added a patch removal software.
