<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>New solution gives organizations
the ease and flexibility to deploy wireless applications independent of email</B> </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B>WATERLOO, ON &#150; </B>Research In
Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS
Applications&#153;, a new offering aimed at organizations looking to easily mobilize
applications and have the flexibility to run them independent of wireless email
deployments. BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications builds on the solid
foundation that has already made BlackBerry&reg; the leading wireless platform for the
enterprise today and offers the same industry-leading security, reliability, and
administration features of BlackBerry Enterprise Server. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Demand for wireless email
continues to spread, but corporate and government customers now also require a robust
wireless platform that can support an array of applications beyond email. BlackBerry
Enterprise Server for MDS Applications is an important new product that will allow
organizations to mobilize their existing systems and boost productivity for whole new
groups of users that rely on applications such as field service, sales force automation,
CRM, healthcare, transportation, logistics and SAP,&#148; said Mike Lazaridis, President
and co-CEO at Research In Motion. &#147;With BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS
Applications, customers will be able to focus on deploying wireless applications that are
most relevant and essential to specific users.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS
Applications provides a complete and optimized framework for creating, deploying and
managing wireless applications for BlackBerry devices. Key benefits of BlackBerry
Enterprise Server for MDS Applications include: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>
o        Separation of Applications  from Email  Environment:  BlackBerry  Enterprise  Server for MDS  Applications
         gives  organization  the  flexibility  to extend  applications  to mobile  workers  that do not have email
         accounts or do not require wireless email.<BR><BR>

o        Support  for  Hosted  Applications:  Service  providers  can  use  BlackBerry  Enterprise  Server  for MDS
         Applications  to offer hosted  wireless  applications,  such as a sales force or field service  automation
         application, to their customers, independent of hosting an email environment for those users.<BR><BR>

o        Enterprise-Class  Security and Manageability:  BlackBerry  Enterprise Server for MDS Applications provides
         the same secure,  push-based  technology and scalable  architecture of BlackBerry  Enterprise  Server.  IT
         departments  benefit from  simplified  management and  centralized  control of their wireless  deployments
         with  reduced  administrative  overhead  and total cost of  ownership.  Mobile  workers  will benefit from
         broader support for wireless enterprise application access in the field.<BR><BR>

o        Robust  Development  Tools:  Developers  will have the ability to extend  virtually any type of enterprise
         application to a BlackBerry device, using a variety of options that include:<BR><BR>

o        the use of  standard  Web  development  tools to easily and  securely  extend  Intranet  applications  and
         content to users via the BlackBerry Browser&#153;<BR><BR>
o        the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE) for developing rich Java applications<BR><BR>

o        and  BlackBerry  MDS Studio&#153; with  BlackBerry MDS Runtime&#153; to quickly  mobilize  applications  through Web
         services standards including WSDL, XML, SOAP and HTTP(S).<BR><BR>

o        Extensive  Developer   Community:   Organizations  that  deploy  BlackBerry   Enterprise  Server  for  MDS
         Applications  will be able to leverage the strong and growing  community  of thousands of Java  developers
         and BlackBerry ISV Alliance Program members developing wireless applications for BlackBerry.<BR><BR>
</FONT></P>
<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Mobile applications for
field-based employees yield a high return on investment and competitive advantage through
improvements in productivity, accuracy and responsiveness,&#148; said William Clark,
Research Vice President, Gartner. &#147;Wireless platforms are increasing their
multichannel capability, which is key to reducing the amount of custom integration
required to move users beyond mobile email.&#148; </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>ARMONK, N.Y. and WATERLOO, ON. May
17, 2006 &#150; IBM and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced
their intent to undertake new initiatives designed to drive growth in the mobile industry
by providing customers with the benefits of tighter integration between IBM&reg;
Lotus&reg; Domino&reg; and the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution&#153;. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Initial areas of focus include
helping &#147;workers on the go&#148; by extending the millions of Lotus Domino
applications through Web services directly to BlackBerry&reg; and enhancing performance of
the BlackBerry solution for Lotus Domino. As part of market awareness initiatives, RIM
will offer a BlackBerry Enterprise Server promotion to Lotus Domino or IBM Lotus
Sametime&reg; customers. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Extending SOA components to
BlackBerry: </I></B><I></I>The integration of Web services support in Lotus Domino 7 with
BlackBerry development tools makes it easier for customers to access, view and manipulate
data remotely from their BlackBerry devices. The availability of business critical data
helps customers save time and money by making it easier for their employees to be more
productive regardless of location. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As the building blocks to a Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services treat data and applications as reusable services
enabling formerly disparate applications to easily work together. With today&#146;s
announcement, IBM and RIM are exploring opportunities for customers to more easily extend
these Web services directly to BlackBerry, redefining the boundaries of their SOA to
include mobile access. Extending Web services to the mobile arena creates an array of new
opportunities for the over 125 million IBM Lotus Notes&reg; and Domino users to
collaborate with colleagues, clients and partners &#151; regardless of location. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In support of this work, IBM recently
previewed the ability to integrate SAP application business processes and information with
Lotus Domino data on BlackBerry devices. This integration will allow customers to view
their SAP solution content in their familiar Lotus Notes environment without being tied to
their desk. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Enhancing Performance</I>:
</B>IBM and RIM each intend to continue their efforts to optimize the performance of
BlackBerry Enterprise Server for IBM Lotus Domino, further improving efficiency and
manageability. These enhancements build on the companies&#146; shared goal to bring value
to customers through features such as the ability to read Lotus Notes encrypted email and
support for IBM DB2&reg; software that were incorporated in BlackBerry Enterprise Server
v4.1 for IBM Lotus Domino. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2><B><I>Special Promotional Offer:
</I></B><I></I>RIM is offering IBM Lotus Domino and Sametime customers a no-charge,

support up to 15 users with the purchase of additional client access licenses. It can also
be upgraded beyond 15 users with the purchase of an electronic unlock key. Beginning May
