Saudi Arabia & UAE ban 'certain' Blackberry functions

BBC:
"The United Arab Emirates is to block sending emails, accessing the internet, and delivering instant messages to other Blackberry handsets.
Saudi Arabia is to prevent the use of the Blackberry to Blackberry instant messaging service.
Both nations are unhappy that they are unable to monitor such communications via the handsets..."

It is more likely that those folks fear the U.S.israel is spying on Blackberries (which it does) than that they feel the need to spy themselves.
