New Integrated BlackBerry Handheld to Operate on Rogers AT&T Wireless' Next-Generation GSM/GPRS Network

Toronto, ON and Waterloo, ON - Rogers AT&T Wireless [TSE: RCM.B; NYSE: RCN] and Research In Motion Limited (RIM) [Nasdaq: RIMM; TSE: RIM] today announced an agreement whereby they intend to add the new GSM/GPRS version of the BlackBerry Wireless Handheld™ with integrated data and voice capabilities to Rogers AT&T Wireless' existing BlackBerry product line-up. The new BlackBerry Handheld combines wireless phone capabilities with its existing wireless data services such as email and anytime, anywhere access to the Internet. This new model is also equipped with an earpiece and microphone for convenient, hands-free phone calls.

"Operating on our industry-leading GSM/GPRS network, this new BlackBerry wireless handheld device is a powerful, all-in-one device that enables phone, email, web and personal organizer applications and serves our customers wherever they travel across Canada," said Mansell Nelson, Vice President and General Manager, Interactive Mobile Services, Rogers AT&T Wireless. "We are committed to providing our customers with the most advanced wireless communications solutions and we are confident that this new BlackBerry handheld device will exceed our customers' expectations."

"RIM is pleased to expand our long-standing relationship with Rogers AT&T Wireless to deliver advanced GSM/GPRS wireless solutions for mobile professionals," said Don Morrison, Chief Operating Officer, Research In Motion. "BlackBerry is already the leading wireless email solution in North America and has been implemented by over 13,000 organizations.

BlackBerry provides users with enhanced wireless email and access to the Internet, and a personal organizer that can synchronize with the users' desktop.

Rogers AT&T Wireless completed the installation of its GSM/GPRS wireless network across more than 85% of Canada's population, making the Rogers AT&T GSM/GPRS network the largest digital wireless network in Canada. By mid-2002, the Rogers AT&T GSM/GPRS network will match its extensive analog coverage of 93% of the Canadian population, providing Canadians with access to "always on" GPRS wireless packet data service, along with GSM digital voice service.
