He makes an excellent point about that nonsense 'even we at RIM don't see the unencrypted data' which RIM seems to think convinces people. How can makers of the software doing the encryption not know the plaintext?
- bensummers 16y agoBy not having control over the endpoints where the data is encrypted and decrypted, and being trustworthy. Microsoft don't have the plaintext of Windows user's SSL encrypted web browsing, but they could if they changed their software to send them the plaintext too.

Consumer email is encrypted between the device and RIMs own servers, therefore they have access to that data, just like any other ISP-hosted mail. BlackBerry Messenger traffic could be encrypted device to device, but I don't know if that's actually the case.
