Press Release
Beijing, China - China Unicom and Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the launch of BlackBerry® services for consumers in China. Following the launch of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution for business customers in 2011, China Unicom is now also offering BlackBerry® Internet Service for consumers. China Unicom’s customers will now be able to take advantage of the leading BlackBerry solution to manage their personal email, messaging and social communications. They will also enjoy access to a wide range of mobile business and lifestyle applications available on BlackBerry App World™, the official app store for BlackBerry smartphones.
With the new BlackBerry service offering, China Unicom’s customers will be able to enjoy the freedom and productivity benefits of using BlackBerry smartphones to stay connected to the people and information that matter most to them throughout the day.
BlackBerry Internet Service allows customers to access supported corporate and personal email accounts from a BlackBerry smartphone. Email messages are automatically pushed to the user’s handset, so the user does not have to constantly check to see if they received a new message.
