Default U.K. Government Hacking BlackBerrys?

Looks like G20 summit delegates had their BlackBerrys hacked and messages intercepted in "near real time".

What I found particularly troubling was "penetrating the security of BlackBerry phones". Not to sound naive, but I thought this was not possible without the tacit collusion of BlackBerry themselves. If government security agencies can do this to BlackBerrys, imagine how easy it must be with iPhones and Android devices?
