I glad. I'd like Blackberry to stick around and be the "other" cell phone maker. Maybe they can work on filling the "I need a very high security phone" niche.

That makes me mad. How hard is it?!

No one knows yet. It's probably not an attack on PGP (that would be much bigger news). They need physical access to the device, and they can't recover everything, so it's probably something like carelessly stashing cleartext somewhere.

Hopefully it is a one-off, and not such a big deal. Blackberry's only hope is to get enterprise adoption by differentiating themselves with security.
