BlackBerry users to Stay Connected with Google Talk instant messaging and Google Local
information and maps </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>Waterloo,  Ontario</B> - Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq:  RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced that Google Talk&#153; instant  messaging and Google
Local for mobile will be supported on the BlackBerry&reg; wireless platform*.</FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Instant messaging and local
content are two increasingly important areas of focus for mobile applications and we are
very pleased to work with Google in extending these two popular Google services to
BlackBerry users,&#148; said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research
In Motion. &#147;Google Talk for BlackBerry and Google Local for mobile will offer
additional flexibility to BlackBerry customers in terms of how, when and where they stay
in touch.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;As mobile technology continues
to converge, consumers are becoming increasingly more connected and require access to
information at home, at work, and on the road,&#148; said Deep Nishar, Director, Product
Management, Google Inc. &#147;By extending Google Talk and Google Local beyond the
desktop, BlackBerry users will have greater access to the information they need regardless
of where they are.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Google Talk for BlackBerry, a version
of the instant messaging application specifically designed for BlackBerry handsets, will
allow users to send and receive instant text messages with other members of the Google
Talk community, while on the go. Google Talk for BlackBerry extends the user experience of
the popular desktop-based Google Talk instant messaging service to BlackBerry devices,
allowing users to add, delete and rename contacts, know when their Friends are online and
available, leave conversations and resume them later, copy conversation text into memory
and even be notified when a message is being typed. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Google Talk for BlackBerry is easy
and intuitive to use. After downloading Google Talk for BlackBerry, users can quickly sign
in through their Gmail&#153; username and password, access their existing Google Talk
contact lists, see which Google Talk Friends are online, and send and receive instant
messages. The service is integrated with BlackBerry to allow for home screen notifications
of new messages, integration of Google Talk instant messages in the BlackBerry Email&#153;
inbox and quick access to the BlackBerry Calendar&#153; from Google Talk for meeting
scheduling. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Use of Google Talk requires a Gmail
account which can be obtained when invited by another Gmail user or by visiting
<U>https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsMailSignup1</U>. Google Talk users may invite other
Gmail users to their contact lists directly from their BlackBerry handset, just as they
would from a PC. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Additionally, users can now download
Google Local for mobile, which enables BlackBerry users to view maps and satellite
imagery, find local businesses and get driving directions on their BlackBerry handsets.
Google Local for mobile provides draggable maps, directions and imagery, as well as a
&#147;click to call&#148; feature. Google Local for mobile will store any addresses you
have typed in or used for directions for quick and access to previous locations. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The satellite imagery viewing of
Google Local for mobile allows users to zoom in on an image for a closer look at the
terrain, zoom out for a grander perspective, or move the map in any direction. This
interactive satellite view gives you a chance to explore and evaluate your locations in
far greater detail. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Google Talk for BlackBerry is
expected to be available in the Spring timeframe. Google Local for mobile is available
today at <U>www.google.com/glm</U>. Both applications will be free, subject to any data
service rates applicable for downloading and using the applications with a limited data
plan. </FONT></P>
