It's stupid enough that they want to ban it for residents, now they want to make it apply to tourists and visitors too? YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?

Good thing I have no interest in going there because I love my blackberry.

That's the stupidest decision ever- BlackBerrys are the most common phone for the business world- outselling all other brands for business phones 2 to 1. They've just shot their foreign development in the foot.

My cousins in both Dubai and Saudi are all pretty infuriated over this and i don't blame them.
