BlackBerry ban

the government's ban on the import of Black Berry 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, Google talk and especially BBM using special BlackBerry hand held device PIN) and Facebook as well as other similar features.

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.

As the manufacturer of the BlackBerry smart phone, 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.
