RIM INTRODUCE NEW BLACKBERRY HANDHELDS FOR CINGULAR&#146;S NATIONWIDE NETWORK </FONT></H1>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Atlanta,  GA and  Waterloo,  Ontario - Cingular  Wireless and Research In Motion (RIM)  (Nasdaq:  RIMM;  TSX:  RIM)
announced today a new suite of BlackBerry&reg; handhelds operating on Cingular's nationwide GSM/GPRS network.</FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Cingular&#146;s new flagship GPRS
data devices are the monochrome BlackBerry 6280&#153; and color BlackBerry 7280&#153;
handhelds. The BlackBerry 6280 and BlackBerry 7280 are tri-band (850,1900,1800 MHz)
handhelds that integrate phone, email and data access to allow customers to take full
advantage of Cingular&#146;s GSM/GPRS network and manage all of their information and
communications with a single device. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Cingular is the leading
provider of wireless email services with more experience supporting BlackBerry customers
and corporate systems connectivity than any other carrier in the US,&#148; said Jim Ryan
vice president of data product management and business marketing, Cingular Wireless.
&#147;Now with these new BlackBerry solutions, we are improving the strength of our
position with higher speeds, a wireless data footprint that meets or beats any other
carrier in the country and enterprise-grade service and support.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Cingular and RIM have a
longstanding and successful history supporting customers with BlackBerry deployments.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server continues to be the wireless platform of choice for
enterprise and government customers and the BlackBerry Web Client service is proving very
popular with smaller companies and individuals that want to stay connected and productive
throughout the day,&#148; said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at
Research In Motion. &#147;The new BlackBerry models are a strong addition to the overall
Cingular offering and the added support of both 850 MHz and 1900 MHz frequencies in the US
provides these handhelds with even greater wireless coverage on Cingular&#146;s nationwide
network.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The BlackBerry 6280 and BlackBerry
7280 combine phone, email, SMS, organizer, web and corporate data applications in a single
handheld. The handhelds also feature cradle-free wireless email synchronization,
integrated attachment viewing (including support for popular file formats such as Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, PDF and ASCII) and remote address look up. The BlackBerry
6280 and BlackBerry 7280 operate on Cingular&#146;s 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS network in the
United States and support international roaming on 1800 MHz networks. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>For customers who want a full color
handheld, the Java&#153;-based BlackBerry 7280 features a new high-resolution screen that
displays crisp images with support for over 65,000 colors, while continuing to offer
superior battery life for optimal wireless performance. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The new BlackBerry handhelds are
available through Cingular as part of the Cingular Xpress Mail&#153; with BlackBerry
service. The BlackBerry 6280 and BlackBerry 7280 work with BlackBerry Enterprise
Server&#153; software that supports both Microsoft&reg; Exchange and IBM Lotus&reg;
Domino&#153; environments. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Both products also support BlackBerry
Web Client&#153;, a web-based interface that can provide smaller companies and individuals
with access to multiple existing corporate and/or personal email accounts from a single
BlackBerry handheld (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and popular ISP email
accounts) without requiring server software. Cingular customers who sign up for XpressMail
with BlackBerry service also receive monthly Internet access at no additional charge.
Pricing for the BlackBerry 6280 starts at $249. Pricing for the BlackBerry 7280 starts at
$299. Cingular data rate plans start as low as $29.99 per month for 3 MB of data. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Business customers who need
installation, maintenance and technical support for their BlackBerry handhelds and
services, or who want to deploy customized wireless data solutions on BlackBerry
handhelds, can get expert support from Cingular&#146;s Professional Services.
Cingular&#146;s team of wireless experts can manage any stage of a project from pre-sale
