Re: Blackberry usage in Govt ?

Not every one in the world is after money,  and not every one who speaks here is doing it because they have a HIDDEN AGENDA.


I DO have an Hidden Agenda, which is that I want the country where I was born, and my entire family reside in, to become a better place then what it is now.

In My opinion the best way to teach people who are not used to email is to give them a black berry, 

It is a good tool to use, and that is why most of the corporate world use it.

If you can give them a better tool, go for it, I have no problem with any brand or service, I would personally prefer them to use a google android phone, but then again, i do not think they will use it, so that is why i brought up BB.

Now as usual, Most of the replies here are NON CONSTRUCTIVE and Totally MOCKING , STOP DOING THAT.

<at> Rehan, it looks like that Rehan sb got the distribution from Emitech
or RIM for Pakistan. If you are really very positive about bringing MP
to use BB so (if I do not have a BB distribution) one should encourage
our respected Member Parliamentarian to use email (by using any media)
then talk about the hand sets. Secondly that's for sure that this era
is absolutely not fit for these experiments or suggestion, I am not
negative about the idea of using BB but one should be realistic
instead start the conversation from the middle..
