Riyadh: Saudi Arabia and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion are testing three servers in the kingdom in a bid to resolve a row over the Canadian firm's popular messaging service, a regulatory official told Reuters on Sunday.

"Three servers are being tested, one for each of the three mobile operators. We're waiting for feedback [from the telecoms firms]," said an official from the Communications and Information Technology Commission's technical department.

The official said the testing began after talks on Thursday between Research In Motion and the Saudi regulator.
