have launched two new BlackBerry&reg; handsets &#150; the BlackBerry 8707v&#153; and the
BlackBerry 7130v&#153;. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->

BlackBerry 7130g in the Netherlands </FONT></H1>

The Hague,  Netherlands  and Waterloo,  Canada - KPN and Research In Motion (RIM)  (Nasdaq:  RIMM;  TSX: RIM) today
announced the immediate  availability  of the  BlackBerry(R)7130g(TM)for  corporate and  individual  customers in the
Netherlands.

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The elegantly designed, light handset
provides all the power of BlackBerry, including support for push-based email, phone, text
messaging, Web browser, organizer and other data applications. In addition, the BlackBerry
7130g features premium mobile phone features such as speakerphone, speed dial, call
forwarding and Bluetooth&reg; support for hands-free use with wireless headsets and car
kits, as well as other accessories. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The handset includes 64MB of flash
memory to support and store enterprise and consumer applications including productivity
tools and games. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The typing experience on the
BlackBerry 7130g&nbsp;&nbsp;is exceptional thanks to RIM&#146;s SureType&#153; keyboard
technology that effectively converges a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit
elegantly within the size constraints of a traditional phone design.&nbsp; SureType
provides users with an instinctively familiar look and feel and allows them to dial phone
numbers and type messages quickly, accurately and comfortably, and dramatically outshines
the multi-tap text input approach used on the numerical keypads of traditional mobile
phones. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;The BlackBerry 7130g gives
users access to popular BlackBerry features in an innovatively designed handset, providing
corporate and individual customers with an optimal mobile experience. We are really
excited about offering the BlackBerry 7130g to our customers across the Netherlands,&#148;
said Albert Vergeer, Business Market Manager for KPN Mobile, The Netherlands. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&#147;Following the extremely
successful launch of the BlackBerry 8700g with KPN in March of this year, we are delighted
to continue the momentum by introducing the BlackBerry 7130g,&#148; said Charmaine
Eggberry, Vice President and Managing Director, EMEA at RIM. &#147;The BlackBerry 7130g is
a compelling handset featuring a sleek design that is ideal for mobile professionals that
require a range of mobile applications and prefer a traditional mobile phone form
factor.&#148; </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The BlackBerry 7130g features a
bright 240x260 LCD screen that supports more than 65,000 colors and uses active matrix
transmissive technology to deliver exceptionally vivid graphics. It also automatically
adjusts both the screen and keyboard lighting to provide the best lighting for outdoor,
indoor and dark environments. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>For corporate customers, BlackBerry
Enterprise Server&#153; software tightly integrates with Microsoft&reg;&nbsp;Exchange, IBM
Lotus&reg; Domino&reg; and Novell&reg; GroupWise&reg;, and works with existing enterprise
systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush" FSL="Default" -->
