FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

mobilkom austria Launches BlackBerry Connect in Austria

mobilkom austria expands its 'BlackBerry from Vodafone' Portfolio with
BlackBerry Connect for the Nokia 9300 and Sony Ericsson P910i

Vienna, Austria and Waterloo, Canada - mobilkom austria and Research In Motion
(RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the availability of
BlackBerry(R) Connect(TM) for the Nokia 9300 Smartphone and the Sony Ericsson
P910i for the first time in Austria. BlackBerry Connect enables users of the
Nokia 9300 and Sony Ericsson P910i to connect to popular BlackBerry services
operating on the mobilkom austria network.

"By combining state-of-the-art devices such as the Nokia 9300 and Sony Ericsson
P910i with BlackBerry functionality, mobilkom austria is expanding upon its
BlackBerry portfolio, providing mobile professionals in Austria with additional
choice in how they experience BlackBerry services," says Dr. Hannes
Ametsreiter, Director of Marketing, Distribution and Customer Services,
mobilkom austria. "Now, mobilkom austria customers can have their emails
automatically pushed to their Nokia 9300 and Sony Ericsson P910i through
BlackBerry and can work on them anytime, anywhere."

Supported features include push-based wireless email access, wireless email
reconciliation and attachment viewing through BlackBerry Enterprise Server(TM)
and BlackBerry Internet Service(TM). Additional features supported by
BlackBerry Enterprise Server include wireless calendar reconciliation, remote
address lookup, IT commands and policy enforcement and security with Triple DES
encryption.

"With over 3 million BlackBerry subscribers, BlackBerry services continue to
grow in popularity. We are very pleased to work with mobilkom austria to now
offer push-based BlackBerry services for a broader range of mobile devices,"
said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion.

By offering BlackBerry services on the Nokia 9300 and Sony Ericsson P910i,
mobilkom austria is meeting the needs of mobile professionals - customers that
want a sleek and compact mobile device that enables them to remain connected to
the people and information important to their day. With BlackBerry Connect,
mobile professionals can remain productive, wherever they are.

BlackBerry Connect supports two wireless platforms for different types of users
and organizations. For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server(TM)
software tightly integrates with Microsoft(R) Exchange and IBM Lotus(R)
Domino(TM) to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other
corporate data. For example, email messages that arrive in an office email
account will be automatically pushed to the Nokia 9300 or Sony Ericsson P910i.
All email that is sent, received, deleted, filed, forwarded or replied to on
the mobile handset will be automatically and wirelessly synchronized with the
user's existing office email account.

BlackBerry Internet Service(TM) allows users to access up to ten corporate
and/or personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino
and many popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
