One more Washington agency drops BlackBerry

 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the latest federal agency to drop BlackBerry smart phones for its employees, adding to the woes of maker Research in Motion.

BlackBerry still remains the smart phone of choice for Capitol Hill, but cracks are appearing in RIM's stronghold among federal agencies.

The federal immigrations agency said last week it had bought $2.1 million Apple iPhones for its 17,676 users, saying that RIM's technology "can no longer meet" its needs.
