Not necessarily a lawsuit; RIM's strong suit has always been security with its email and messaging, and UAE & Saudi Arabia want a backdoor for "judicial, social and national security concerns".

Seeing how those countries have such respect for their women and religious tolerance, I'm sure they have only altrusitic motives.

By far not the only reason, just the one that sealed the deal; I was already leaning toward something running Android.
