TORONTO, Ontario, May 8 2008 -- Bell today announced the
availability of BlackBerry(R) Unite!(TM) software for small businesses and
families to stay in touch, collaborate, keep organized and share content while
on the go. The new software from Research In Motion (RIM), a free download
that runs on a PC, provides small groups of up to five BlackBerry(R)
smartphone users with easy, mobile access to email, web browsing, a shared
calendar, shared contacts, pictures, documents, and other desktop computer
content.
    "Bell is happy to introduce BlackBerry Unite! software to Canada, further
enhancing the BlackBerry experience for small businesses, families, and
friends who wish to stay connected but don't have access to a centralized
mail/messaging server," said Adel Bazerghi, Vice President, Products for Bell
Mobility.
    "BlackBerry Unite! software extends the proven power and security of the
BlackBerry platform in a simplified package that is optimized for small groups
of people and easy to install in a home or small office," said Mark Guibert,
Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion.
    BlackBerry Unite! software will allow groups of up to five BlackBerry
smartphone users to:
