E-Plus Introduces BlackBerry in Germany
E-Plus and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq:RIMM) (TSX:RIM) today announced the commercial availability of BlackBerry® to E-Plus customers in Germany. E-Plus is introducing the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution™ with the BlackBerry 7730 Wireless Handheld™ for corporate customers.
"With BlackBerry we are optimizing our offering for business customers," said Wilko van der Meer, Chief Commercial Officer, E-Plus. "BlackBerry meets corporate demands for mobility and professionalism and, in doing so, offers everything the enterprise customer needs for business on the move."
"The popularity of BlackBerry continues to grow across Europe and we look forward to adding to the momentum with E-Plus in Germany," said Don Morrison, Chief Operating Officer at RIM. "BlackBerry leverages the power of the E-Plus GPRS network to provide customers with a unique wireless enterprise platform that can significantly improve communications and workflow and deliver a convincing return on investment."
A key component of BlackBerry for corporate customers is the BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ software that integrates tightly with Microsoft® Exchange or IBM Lotus® Domino™ (Novell GroupWise support is expected to be available later this year). BlackBerry Enterprise Server supports the wireless synchronization between the user's inbox and handheld, the end-to-end encryption of data, and secure access to other corporate applications on the company intranet.
The tri-band BlackBerry 7730™ incorporates email, phone, SMS, browser and personal organizer applications and supports 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. It features a large, high-resolution screen and impressive battery performance within a lightweight and portable design. The optimized keyboard is perfect for typing messages on the go and the trackwheel allows extremely easy navigation.
