No ban on BlackBerry yet in India Phew!
I have been a Reliance user for the past few years and when I wanted to upgrade my handset, I opted for the BlackBerry.

Imagine my shock when I read in a news item that the Blackberry was going to be blacked out soon as the Indian Government perceived it as a security threat.

The government had asked Research in Motion (RIM) to provide them with access to algorithms required to decrypt BlackBerry messages latest by March 31st else face a total ban on the service in India.
