Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and T-Mobile have expanded the reach of BlackBerry® with the introduction of the BlackBerry 7290 Wireless Handheld™ and BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ v4.0 in Hungary and The Czech Republic. BlackBerry is an award winning wireless platform that keeps mobile customers connected to the people, data and resources that drive their day. BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds™ combine phone, email, text messaging, organizer, web and corporate data applications in a single device. The Java™-based BlackBerry 7290™ builds upon the proven BlackBerry experience with new features including a quad-band phone, Bluetooth support, a brighter color screen and increased memory — all while maintaining excellent battery life. The BlackBerry 7290 is ideal for mobile professionals who want a superior wireless e-mail and data experience combined with a built-in phone, all in a single, compact device.
For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ software tightly integrates with Microsoft® Exchange, IBM Lotus® Domino™ and Novell GroupWise™ and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to email and other corporate data. The newly introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0 offers exceptional manageability, enhanced security and simplified application development. T-Mobile International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, was established in December 1999. Deutsche Telekom, within the group, holds direct or indirect investments in mobile communications companies in Europe and the USA, including T-Mobile Czech Republic and T-Mobile Hungary Telecommunication Company Limited.
