FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vodafone Sweden Launches the Successful BlackBerry Wireless Platform for Mobile Professionals

Karlskrona, Sweden — BlackBerry®, the popular wireless platform developed by Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM; TSX: RIM), is being introduced into new markets all over the world. More than one million people already use BlackBerry to manage their email, access corporate data or make phone calls on the move. The BlackBerry wireless platform is now being launched in Sweden by Vodafone.

With BlackBerry from Vodafone, users enjoy a built-in mobile phone together with secure, wireless access to email and corporate data via Vodafone’s GPRS network. The BlackBerry platform enables email and data to be delivered, using RIM’s push-based technology, without requiring the user to dial in. BlackBerry from Vodafone can be used to receive, edit, reply, send and forward email, as well as read and forward attachments in formats such as Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe PDF.

“With BlackBerry from Vodafone we’re offering what many companies have been requesting for their employees – a secure, efficient solution for mobile management of email and calendars. Now you really can keep your email in your pocket,” said Anders Sjöholm, Director Business Segment at Vodafone Sweden.

The BlackBerry 7230 Wireless Handheld™

BlackBerry from Vodafone is being launched in Sweden with the BlackBerry 7230 Wireless Handheld. The BlackBerry 7230™ supports email, Internet, intranet, personal organizer and text messaging applications and also works as a regular mobile phone. The integrated QWERTY keyboard makes it easy to compose email and text messages and the high-resolution, backlit color screen makes it easy to read text and view graphics. For corporate users, the BlackBerry 7230 also features cradle-free wireless synchronization of email and calendar.

High accessibility, smart and safe with your pocket email

BlackBerry from Vodafone operates in Sweden on Vodafone’s GPRS network. Users can also roam with their BlackBerry handheld to countries where Vodafone has GPRS roaming agreements*. It supports Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption, enabling the secure transmission of information between the handheld and BlackBerry Enterprise Server™. This has made BlackBerry a popular solution for many government and corporate organizations.

Customized solutions for companies and individuals

In Sweden, Vodafone is launching the BlackBerry platform for corporate customers and individual/small business users. For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus® Domino™ and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to email and other corporate data. Later this year Vodafone Sweden will launch BlackBerry Web Client™ for individuals, providing an Internet-based email interface that allows users to access multiple existing corporate and/or personal email accounts without the need for server software (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and popular ISP email accounts) from a single BlackBerry handheld.
