So who/what does one trust?
Is there a risk from installing phone software from certain providers (Saudi Arabia)(UAE)(India)(China)(built in holes)?
How secure are US-based Blackberry services? (From USGov, etc.) Small business based BES Express more secure than BIS? Does RIM retain messages or remnants to/from BES services? |
1. There's no risk in installing device operating systems from one carrier or the next, all of them are developed by RIM. The carriers only vary the OS with the language files to include for their clientele.
2. I don't understand your question or concern. 3. More secure in what way? 4. No. |
JSanders, wasn't there a supposed "update" pushed from the UAE carrier (Estilat?) last year that actually was a monitoring program instead of an actual software update? So while there would not be a risk to installing OS updates, the risk would be if the carrier tried to push something and tell users that it was an update.

So, my answers above are correct. But people, however gullible, need to know what they are doing to their devices and what they are loading. |
