RIM
Introduces the New BlackBerry Pearl 3G Smartphone
What
do you want in a mobile phone?
Small?
Stylish? Fast? Full-featured?
How
about all of the above?
Waterloo,
ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the new
BlackBerry® Pearl™
3G, the smallest BlackBerry® smartphone yet. Despite its impressively
compact and elegant design, this stylish new handset is a powerful 3G BlackBerry
smartphone with uncompromising performance and top–of-the-line features,
including all the industry-leading BlackBerry® email, messaging and social
networking capabilities that so many people love.
“The
BlackBerry Pearl 3G is unlike any other smartphone in the world and we expect a
broad range of new and existing customers will be drawn to its powerful features
and compact design,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO, Research In
Motion. “Considering the fast growing consumer interest in smartphones and the
fact that more than three-quarters of the people in the global mobile phone
market are still buying handsets with a traditional alphanumeric keypad, we
think the new BlackBerry Pearl 3G addresses a substantial market opportunity. It
allows consumers to upgrade their traditional mobile phone to a full-featured,
easy-to-use and fashionable 3G BlackBerry smartphone that supports BlackBerry
Messenger and many other apps while maintaining a handset design and layout that
is familiar and comfortable.”
The new
BlackBerry Pearl 3G smartphone is a marvel of engineering and design excellence.
It’s as powerful as it is compact. Measuring less than two inches wide (50 mm)
and weighing only 3.3 ounces (93g), it still manages to pack in support for
high-speed 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) networks, Wi-Fi® (b/g/n) and GPS along with a
powerhouse processor that drives visually stunning images on the sharp,
high-resolution display. It also features an optical trackpad for smooth
navigation, dedicated volume and media keys for added convenience, a 3.2 MP
camera with flash for quality pictures on the go, and support for up to 32 GB of

RIM
Announces BlackBerry Mobile Voice System 5 with Voice over Wi-Fi
Calling
Enables
Employees to Make or Receive Enterprise Phone Calls through Cisco Unified
Communications Manager from their BlackBerry Smartphones Over Wi-Fi at Work,
Hotspots and Home
WATERLOO,
ON – Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced
BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System 5 (BlackBerry® MVS 5) with voice over Wi-Fi®
calling. BlackBerry MVS 5 works with Cisco® Unified Communications Manager to
provide a business user with the ability to use their regular desk phone number
and extension from their BlackBerry® smartphone. With the new version 5, an
employee will be able to use a single work phone number shared between their
desk phone and BlackBerry smartphone and make and receive enterprise calls on
their BlackBerry smartphone over a Wi-Fi connection, adding to the existing
capability available over cellular networks.
An
increasingly mobile workforce and the growing number of employees working from
home present challenges for businesses to keep their staff accessible through
their work phone number and keep calling costs under control. With BlackBerry
MVS 5, calls made through BlackBerry MVS are routed through the corporate phone
system/Private Branch Exchange (PBX)*, which helps with adherence to company
policies and enables potential savings on long-distance and international
roaming charges. Employees also benefit from the convenience of a single work
phone number shared between their desk phone and BlackBerry smartphone.
Employees can be more reachable through their work phone number and can even
enjoy the convenience of extension dialing from their BlackBerry smartphone as
well as the flexibility to move calls from their BlackBerry smartphone to their
desk phone. It’s also easy to use since incoming calls ring simultaneously on
the employee’s desk phone and BlackBerry smartphone and employees access
BlackBerry MVS using the same phone interface that they are already familiar
with on their BlackBerry smartphone.
“BlackBerry
Mobile Voice System 5 effectively provides a wireless extension of the corporate
phone system to allow voice over Wi-Fi calling at work, public hotspots and
home. It presents a great opportunity for companies to enhance the productivity
of employees who are often away
from
their desks or working from home, such as workers in construction, hospitality,
sales and professional services,” said Alan Panezic, VP, Platform Product
Management at Research In Motion. “This latest release enables businesses to
better leverage their investment in the corporate phone system, adapt to the
growing demand by employees for more flexible work arrangements, improve
workforce productivity and save costs on long-distance and international roaming
charges.”
RIM and
Cisco have worked closely to integrate BlackBerry MVS 5 with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager to deliver an enhanced user experience. The solution has
been tested for interoperability and will be supported by both RIM and
Cisco.
Laurent
Philonenko, vice president and general manager, Unified Communications Business
Unit at Cisco: “BlackBerry Mobile Voice System and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager provide and extend Cisco’s IP telephony features to BlackBerry
smartphone users at companies of any size. With an integrated Cisco Unified
Wireless Network, our customers will be able to have highly secure voice over
Wi-Fi experiences and high quality phone calls with their BlackBerry smartphones
while roaming across the wireless network.”
Advanced
IT features built into BlackBerry MVS 5 will help to provide controlled, managed
and secure use of BlackBerry smartphones with the corporate phone system. Key
features include:
-
|
Wi-Fi network access
controls to set which Wi-Fi networks employees can
access
|
-
|
Network preference
settings with the option of prioritizing the use of Wi-Fi or
cellular for making phone calls
|
-
|
Authentication to help
ensure that only authorized BlackBerry smartphones have access to the
corporate phone system
|
-
|
Incoming call filtering
based on allowed and blocked caller
lists
|
A new
interoperability platform has also been added to BlackBerry MVS 5 to enable
telecommunications companies to offer BlackBerry MVS 5 as part of their
corporate phone system offerings. RIM is working with leading companies to make
BlackBerry MVS available for a range of PBX systems.
BlackBerry
MVS 5 is expected to be available later this year.
For more
information, visit www.blackberry.com/mvs.
* Emergency calls to "911" (or other
internationally recognized emergency service numbers) will only be processed
through available cellular networks.

capabilities of a BlackBerry smartphone to date-stamp photos and record field
notes directly into the state’s child welfare system. The solution helps to
increase the safety and wellbeing of children under the state’s protection while
