Default Re: 2 of 3 Blackberrys have malware? I don't think so

I agree daphne. I would not download their apps either. When I first got a BB, I installed practically everything I could get my hands on. Themes, Apps, Games.... But when I realized that developers could sneak in code and not be detected, that was the end of that. Now, the only things I install are from RIM.

Not sure how this crap code could be detected either.

I agree. Sounds like sales speak. I very much dislike sales people.
