In the past few years, the once titanic Blackberry, has lost a lot of its cache and a fair amount of its global market share. It has had to pay millions to countries like Saudia Arabia and Indonesia to keep its model afloat. You see there is a lot of information stored on those servers in Canada and many of the Muslim countries want to have exclusive access to it. So with major business issues like that facing the company, they go this route.

I don't know about you but I have no interest in any more ads on my phone. It is bad enough that most software is free and only supported by ad models, but a free form ad machine on my phone is not innovation. It appears as a short term fix to the RIM revenue stream. Come up with a better phone, not a more obnoxious service.
