24/7 Service Serves Up Answers

Wireless Enterprise Symposium, Chicago, IL - PRNewswire - InfoByPhone, LLC, a leader in providing information to users of the BlackBerry® platform, developed by Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM), will showcase its AskMeNow™ service at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium opening today in Chicago.

The symposium is hosted by RIM and features the latest in wireless technology. InfoByPhone is located in booth 115.

AskMeNow™ is a premier service that provides mobile users with answers to virtually anything they request. Users simply email a question from their BlackBerry handheld. Answers are then located by AskMeNow™ skilled researchers using state of the art technologies, and then emailed back to the user’s BlackBerry handheld, usually in a matter of minutes.

"For the time sensitive mobile professional, AskMeNow™ delivers the exact answer to your question, instead of a list containing 3,000 links that potentially have the answer," said Steve Burns, founder and CEO.

BlackBerry is the industry-leading wireless platform that keeps mobile professionals connected to their important information and communications while on the go.

"The AskMeNow service leverages the always on connectivity of BlackBerry to provide users with information when needed," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion.
