BlackBerry software from RIM to be included with Windows Mobile cell phones made by HTC March 14, 2005 [General] | By Edward J. R. T-Mobile Germany has been offering RIM BlackBerry software for MDA II and MDA III Pocket PC phones already for a long time. It now looks like HTC - the biggest hardware manufacturer of Windows Mobile cell phones - has signed agreement directly with RIM company to include BlackBerry software in their phones! This wise decision will strengthen HTC's position even further although already now, thanks to such massive community sites like Xda-developers.com and several others, the amount of support available for HTC made devices is huge and buying HTC made phones therefore is not a bad choice. More information - directly from RIM company - follows. * * * * * HTC And RIM To Provide Global Distribution Of BlackBerry Connect On Windows Mobile-Based Devices From HTC High Tech Computer Corp. and Research In Motion announced plans to expand distribution of BlackBerry Connect on Windows Mobile-based devices from HTC to carriers around the world. Carriers will soon have access to a wider variety of Windows Mobile-based HTC devices with BlackBerry Connect. In addition to previously announced models from HTC, new initiatives will include the deployment of BlackBerry Connect on HTC’s current generation of keyboard-based devices and will quickly expand to a wider deployment of Windows Mobile-based HTC devices. “HTC continuously facilitates and customizes cutting edge technologies and various creative and feasible solutions for carriers. We are excited to broaden our product lines by offering global availability of BlackBerry Connect, providing our operator customers with easy-to-use, push-based connectivity,” said Peter Chou, President of HTC. RIM’s BlackBerry Connect licensing program brings powerful and proven BlackBerry wireless services to HTC’s popular and innovative devices based on the Pocket PC and Smartphone versions of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform. Mobile customers will benefit from a compelling, high-value wireless solution that keeps them connected to communication and information while on the go. BlackBerry Connect for HTC devices based on the Windows Mobile platform brings a suite of high-value BlackBerry functionality, including secure, push-based e-mail and calendar synchronization. BlackBerry Connect supports both BlackBerry Enterprise Server for corporate users and BlackBerry Internet Service for individuals and smaller businesses. “HTC is a leading supplier of mobile devices and the world’s largest manufacturer of Windows Mobile-based devices. We look forward to expanding BlackBerry Connect to more devices, carriers and mobile customers around the world,” said Jim Balsillie, Chairman and Co-CEO at Research In Motion.

HTC designs innovative smart handheld devices that motivate consumer interest and provide added value to corporate users. By providing different ways to communicate beyond voice, HTC delivers personal and powerful mobile experiences that offer customers multiple choices to keep in touch, whether via voice, data or a combination of both.
