<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3><B>Redmond, Wash. and Waterloo,
ON</B> &#151; Microsoft Corp. and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today
announced a product collaboration and joint marketing agreement to extend enterprise
instant messaging (IM) and presence to BlackBerry&reg; subscribers through connectivity
with Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and BlackBerry Enterprise
Server&#153;. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Companies are using Live
Communications Server to deploy enterprise-grade IM and presence capabilities across their
networks and through federated connections with other organizations running Live
Communications Server. Based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and SIP for Instant
Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) standards, Live Communications
Server provides a platform for the development of custom real-time communications
solutions that span PC networks, desk phone systems, and mobile devices. The combined
Microsoft-RIM solution is designed to extend rich Live Communications Server features to
employees using BlackBerry, enabling mobile professionals to transmit instant messages and
share presence-based information to maintain real-time connectivity with colleagues,
partners and customers while they are away from the office. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>&#147;Instant messaging and presence
are playing an increasingly important role in helping information workers stay in touch
with critical business contacts and make better decisions, faster,&#148; said Gurdeep
Pall, corporate vice president for the Real-Time Collaboration Group at Microsoft.
&#147;Extending these valuable communications tools from the desktop, with Microsoft
Office Communicator, to mobile devices like BlackBerry is a core element of our vision for
integrated communications, which aims to unify communications across PCs, phones and
mobile devices so people can communicate and collaborate more effectively and efficiently.
We are excited about expanding our vibrant developer partner ecosystem to include
providers of rich mobile solutions, like BlackBerry, to further extend and enhance the
Live Communications experience.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>&#147;Enterprise customers around the
world have chosen BlackBerry for its ability to keep employees connected to timely
communications and information. Together with Microsoft, we are extending the benefits of
Live Communications Server to mobile BlackBerry users and enhancing personal and workgroup
communications,&#148; said Jim Balsillie, Chairman and Co-CEO at Research In Motion.
&#147;Enterprise instant messaging capabilities for BlackBerry with Live Communications
Server mark another important and expansive step for wireless enterprise
connectivity.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>RIM is working to develop a Live
