[TriLUG] Blackberry support for Linux

[Marc M]

Are you talking about the Nextel version of the Blackberry?  I heard the
other day from some Cellphone guys that one of the Fed agencies such as FBI
or CIA or something simillar, has purchased the actual network that they run
on, from Nextel.  The intention is to make it work for them only and no one
else.  Also I understand there is a lawsuit over the BB form factor (?) or
something like they keyboard.  I don't have the details on that but it
sounds like a good reason to stay away.  I have to wear one for work but I
don't know how much longer that will really be.
