Hi, a theoretical question aimed at gas engineers. I'm part of a
small team developing applications for BlackBerry mobile phones and we
are looking to produce a product for gas engineers whether one person
businesses or larger operations.

Is the blackberry handset qualified as intrinsically safe in an
explosive environment?



No
From the documentation on the blackberry site

The BlackBerry device is not an intrinsically safe device and is not
suitable for use in hazardous environments, where such devices are
required, including without limitation, in presence of gas
fumes, explosive dust situations, operation of nuclear facilities,
aircraft navigation or communication services, air traffic control, and
life support or weapons systems.
