StarHub Introduces BlackBerry 7290 and BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0 in Singapore

Singapore and Waterloo, Ontario – StarHub and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) are now offering the BlackBerry 7290 Wireless Handheld™ and BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ v4.0 to customers in Singapore.

The BlackBerry® 7290™ provides a superior wireless email and data experience combined with built-in phone functionality in a single, integrated device. It provides multi-network support, allowing users to travel nationwide or internationally* while maintaining wireless connectivity to a full suite of email, Internet, intranet, phone, text messaging and organizer applications, as well as StarHub’s powerful suite of financial data applications.

The Java™-based BlackBerry 7290 builds upon the popular BlackBerry experience with new features including a quad-band phone, Bluetooth® support, a brighter color screen and increased memory.

In addition, StarHub is introducing BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0, a major new release that offers exceptional manageability, enhanced security and simplified application development to allow ISVs and corporate/government developers to create additional wireless data applications that go beyond wireless email (such as CRM and business intelligence applications). End users will also benefit through a range of enhancements that improve the overall wireless experience.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0 enables:

• The delivery of Chinese character sets to BlackBerry handhelds. Corporate customers will be able to read or type traditional Chinese (with Jyutping and CangJie) and Simplified Chinese (with PinYin, CangJie and WuBiHua) for email, messaging, web and PIM applications (including address book, calendar, memo and task list);
• Cradle-free wireless synchronization of all email and organizer applications, including the ability to remotely control email filters and out-of-office replies from the handheld;
• Improved attachment handling capabilities, including the ability to view JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF images with pan, tilt and zoom functionalities;
• Additional wireless security support (including AES and Triple DES).

StarHub is also offering BlackBerry enterprise subscribers a suite of financial data applications. These applications allow traders, investors and institutions to wirelessly access Comstock[1]via BlackBerry and be provided with market data such as market indices and their respective exchanges, currencies, futures and commodities. Equities and US financial news are also provided for market research. The applications are provided through Outercurve[2], a leading global provider of wireless handheld business solutions. Users are able to customize a watch list that tracks the performance of up to 10 instruments or indices that they would like to monitor simultaneously. Updates can be pushed to the BlackBerry handheld every 60 seconds.  In addition to audible tunes that ring each time an alert is triggered, a streaming ticker displays symbols and pricing that correspond to those alerts.

“With the strong economic recovery in the region, it is imperative for Singapore investors to have the latest financial information at their fingertips anywhere anytime, in order to stay current with the financial markets,” said Mr. Chan Kin Hung, Head of Mobile Services, StarHub. “StarHub’s financial data applications with the easy-to-use BlackBerry Wireless Handheld, is a must-have tool for business professionals to retrieve quote and graph information for a particular equity, currency or future anywhere, anytime easily.  Through the BlackBerry push-based technology, business professionals can continuously keep in touch with their customers and the office with all the financial data that is relevant to them.”
