Blackberrys and SLF

Prompted by the Pearl thread I just added to.

SLF last week. Cabin announcement about hand held electronic devices made a point of specifically exempting Blackberrys by brand name when it comes to "you can't use your transmitting device even if in flight safe mode".

Have RIM subjected their devices to tests that other's haven't to prove that when set "off" the transceiver really is "off" or is this a nice bit of marketing?!

I don't want to get in to the debate about whether it makes any practical difference anyway. I'm just casually curious.

I think it was KLM (I take many flights and they all merge in to a blurr).
