Research In Motion (RIM) (today announced the availability of
BlackBerryConnect for the Sony Ericsson P910i to Globe Telecom
customers in the Philippines. BlackBerry Connect enables P910i users to

a wireless device. The Sony Ericsson P910i will support BlackBerry
services, while maintaining the existing P910i experience and
functionality.
"We're delighted to add BlackBerry Connect to the Sony Ericsson
P910i. The P910i offers productivity, entertainment and communications
in a stylish and compact device. With our partnerships with Globe and
RIM, we ensure our customers are able to access this proven,
market-leading wireless communication and data solution," said Dennis
Manzano, Sony Ericsson General Manager in the Philippines.
{mosgoogle}"BlackBerry has been well-received by Globe's
customers since it was launched last year. We are very pleased to work
with Sony Ericsson and RIM to offer a new choice to our customers who
would like to have BlackBerry services in a different form factor. Our
customers can also leverage Globe's robust GPRS network and strong
international roaming capabilities to access emails anywhere they go,"
said Blue de Venecia, GlobeSolutions Senior Product Manager.
With BlackBerry Connect technology, users will enjoy BlackBerry
services on the Sony Ericsson P910i. Supported features include
push-based wireless email access, wireless email reconciliation and
attachment viewing via BlackBerry Enterprise Server(TM) and BlackBerry
Internet Service(TM). Additional features supported by BlackBerry
Enterprise Server include wireless calendar reconciliation, remote
address lookup, IT policy enforcement and commands and Triple DES
encryption.
"Customers around the world depend on the push-based BlackBerry
architecture and infrastructure to remain connected to business and
personal information while on the go," said Mark Guibert, Vice
President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. "With BlackBerry
Connect, Globe's customers will be able to enjoy the many features of
the Sony Ericsson P910i together with the added benefit of BlackBerry
connectivity."
The P910i is a high-quality communications tool for voice calls, text
and picture messaging, and email, as well as providing full
PDA/organizer functions. In addition, it is a camera-phone capable of
recording video and still images and provides a good gaming experience
on the 262K color touch-screen. The wide range of applications
available for download enables the P910i to do much more than making
voice calls, thereby increasing its value for both consumers and
operators. The P910i is based on the open Symbian OS v7.0 and the
established UIQ user interface.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with
Microsoft(R) Exchange and IBM Lotus(R) Domino(TM) and works with
existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless
access to email and other corporate data.
For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service
allows users to access up to ten corporate and/or personal email
accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and many
popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
