Your comments on the government's ban on the import of BlackBerry cell phones because Research in Motion Ltd, the manufacturer from Canada, has failed to open official service centers in Indonesia.

A lot of people in Indonesia are using BlackBerry phones and more and more people will be using them because of their significant and important features such as cheap Internet capabilities like pushed email, chatting (YM, MSN Messenger, Googletalk and especially BBM using special BlackBerry handheld device PIN) and Facebook as well as other similar features.

Obama's use of a BlackBerry (that he cannot even avoid using it as president of US) is really promoting this brand to be used widely for everyday work and fun.

You do not have to open your laptop or PC just to check emails, Facebook or messenger or even other important business matter like financial information or even news. How could people avoid using this BlackBerry phone because it really helps people and businesses.

The number of BlackBerry users in Indonesia should be much higher than in Singapore. RIM has to think twice about turning down the government's offer to open RIM service center in Indonesia because of the potential buyers/users in Indonesia and therefore protection of the users should be there because RIM will surely benefit from selling a lot of devices in Indonesia.

My wife and children all use BlackBerry phones, four of us. More and more people in the office use them as do university students and high school students. I am sending this email from my BlackBerry.

As the manufacturer of the BlackBerry smartphone, RIM should be ready to establish service centers in Indonesia as a post-sales service.

The government has the right to force RIM to guarantee that consumers will not encounter difficulties with the products. I believe RIM will immediately fulfill the government's demand to establish post-sales services.
