RIM Executives Adopt Automatic Securities Disposition Plans

Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion Limited (“RIM” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced that Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, RIM’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, have each adopted new automatic securities disposition plans (“ASDPs”) in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”), applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation, including the guidance under Ontario Securities Commission’s Staff Notice 55-701 (the “Canadian Legislation”), and RIM’s Insider Trading Policy.

Rule 10b5-1 and the Canadian Legislation permit insiders to adopt written ASDPs (generally referred to in the United States as “Rule 10b5-1 Plans”) to sell, donate or otherwise transfer shares in the future (including upon exercise of stock options) according to the ASDP on an automatic basis regardless of any subsequent material non-public information they receive. Once an ASDP is established, the insider is not permitted to exercise any further discretion or influence over how dispositions will occur under the ASDP. RIM recognizes that insiders may have reasons unrelated to their assessment of a company or its prospects in determining to effect transactions in that company’s common shares under an ASDP. These reasons might include, for example, charitable donations, tax and estate planning, retirement planning, the purchase of a home, the payment of university tuition for a child, the establishment of a trust, the balancing of assets and diversification of investments in an orderly manner, or other personal reasons. RIM also recognizes that many of its officers and employees have a substantial portion of their personal net worth represented by securities of the Company.

In addition to meeting the basic requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Canadian Legislation, RIM has in place additional measures that are designed to conform with “best practices” relating to ASDPs. Those measures include the following: (i) ASDPs may only be adopted during a trading window; (ii) a “cooling-off” period of three months will generally be required between the adoption of the ASDP and the first disposition under the ASDP; (iii) an ASDP should generally have a duration of 12-24 months; (iv) the ASDP must contain meaningful restrictions on the ability of the insider to modify or terminate the ASDP; and (v) the ASDP should generally provide for regular sales of smaller amounts (relative to an insider’s holdings) over a period of time rather than large sales during a short period of time after adoption of the ASDP. In addition, RIM’s Insider Trading Policy requires all ASDPs to be pre-cleared by the Compensation, Nomination & Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of RIM’s Board of Directors, which is comprised of independent directors. The Committee will also consider such other “best practices” as they exist at the time an insider adopts an ASDP and may impose such additional requirements, or grant such exceptions, as it determines are necessary or appropriate.

The new ASDPs are summarized below:

• Jim Balsillie – Mr. Balsillie’s ASDP provides for weekly donations of RIM shares to a registered charitable foundation established by Mr. Balsillie up to a maximum value of Cdn$100 million over the up to 24-month duration of the ASDP as well as weekly donations of RIM Shares to the Centre for International Governance Innovation (“CIGI”) up to a maximum value of Cdn$57 million of donations over the up to 24-month duration of the ASDP, subject to limit order prices in certain cases. Each of the foundation and CIGI will immediately sell the shares received from Mr. Balsillie, subject to certain limits in the case of the foundation. The ASDP also provides for weekly sales of RIM shares up to a maximum value of Cdn$360 million of sales over the 24-month duration of the ASDP, subject to a limit order price. The shares being donated and/or sold by Mr. Balsillie include up to 600,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options that are scheduled to expire during the term of the ASDP. Donations and sales under Mr. Balsillie’s ASDP will not commence until after the expiry of the three-month cooling-off period described above. Mr. Balsillie currently beneficially owns approximately 34.97 million RIM shares, including the shares that will be subject to the ASDP (determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and including shares underlying stock options that are exercisable within 60 days).
• Mike Lazaridis – Mr. Lazaridis’ ASDPs provide for weekly donations of RIM shares to a registered charitable foundation established by Mr. Lazaridis in an aggregate amount of approximately Cdn$190 million over the up to 22-month duration of the ASDPs (assuming that donations are made at the current market price for RIM shares – the actual amount of the donations will depend on the market price for RIM shares at the time of the donations), subject to limit order prices. The foundation will immediately sell the shares received from Mr. Lazaridis, subject to a limit order price. In addition to sales by the foundation, the ASDPs also provide for weekly sales of RIM shares up to a maximum value of Cdn$200 million over the up to 22-month duration of the ASDPs, subject to a limit order price. The shares being donated and/or sold by Mr. Lazaridis include up to 600,000 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options that are scheduled to expire during the term of the ASDPs. Donations and sales under Mr. Lazaridis’ ASDPs will not commence until after the expiry of the three-month cooling-off period described above. Mr. Lazaridis currently beneficially owns approximately 34.81 million RIM shares, including the shares that will be subject to the ASDPs (determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and including shares underlying stock options that are exercisable within 60 days).

Dispositions by the insiders under their respective ASDPs will be reported in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws (RIM’s insiders are exempt from filing insider reports under U.S. securities laws) and on Forms 144 filed with the SEC for sales on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each such filing will bear a notation to advise readers that the dispositions relate to an ASDP.

Other insiders of the Company may from time to time adopt ASDPs during trading windows. RIM will issue a press release to announce the adoption of any other ASDPs by its directors or officers.

emFAST Releases FACSys® Print-to-Fax Application for BlackBerry® Smartphones

Use any fax machine in the world as a printer for your BlackBerry® smartphone

Bridgewater, NJ - emFAST Inc., manufacturer of the FACSys® Fax Messaging Gateway, announced today the availability of the FACSys® Print-to-Fax application for BlackBerry® smartphones. Leveraging the inherent print capability of fax machines, the FACSys® Print-to-Fax application allows users to send emails and attached documents from their BlackBerry smartphone to any fax machine/device in the world - effectively turning those devices into personal printers. Provided that the user has a network fax application, like FACSys®, or subscribes to a fax server service, the message will be printed on the fax machine of their choice.

“When people receive attachments on their handheld device, more often than not, it is more convenient to read it in a printed format,” says Peter Mittler, VP of Business Development at emFAST. “The challenge is how to print the document when most handheld devices are not equipped to send documents to a printer. Moreover, connecting to a printer requires technically configuring the handheld device.”

FACSys® Print-to-Fax enables BlackBerry smartphone users to print by simply entering the fax number for any available fax device (eg. a hotel, airport, business center or even at a customer’s location). Even attachments such as Microsoft® Word® documents, spreadsheets and Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) files can be printed, provided that the fax service is provisioned to convert the attached documents to fax format.

“Road warriors, such as sales people, often need printed documents; having the information on the handheld is often not enough,” says Elvis Cabral, Director of Sales at emFAST. “In general users prefer being able to print large attachments - such as multi-page spreadsheets - for ease of review, presentation to customers or where a signature is required.”

“I am particularly pleased with the improved security and confidentiality of this application,” states Frank Kaufman, President of emFAST. “In the past, one would have had to forward a received message to another party and request that they print the message and documents for you. Now you can directly control the output location without the risk of a third party retaining a copy in their inbox as well.”

The FACSys® Print-to-Fax application is available on BlackBerry App WorldTM (www.blackberry.com/appworld).

About emFAST Inc.
emFAST Inc., with its flagship product - FACSys - has been advancing network fax technology since 1990. Through the development of strategic alliances with leading technology partners, emFAST provides increased efficiency to organizations, maximizing the convenience and ubiquity of fax for reliable and effective business communications.

Praxedo Unveils the Praxedo Mobile Solution for BlackBerry Smartphones

A solution for managing and monitoring service calls in real time that delivers higher business productivity

Paris, France - Praxedo, a software publisher specializing in the provision of computerized services to field workers, announces today the rollout of the Praxedo Mobile solution for BlackBerry® smartphones.

Suited to maintenance, after-sales service, inspection, survey work, personal service and transport environments, Praxedo Mobile is a software package that helps businesses schedule and track the service calls of their field workers in real time. Companies that use it in conjunction with BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server can now optimize their resources and enhance the flow of information to and from their mobile workforce.

The Praxedo Mobile solution comprises two modules.
The first module a Web interface designed for managing work orders, whether they involve technical inspection, delivery, on-site repairs or other similar tasks.
Branch directors, dispatchers and supervisors can use it to generate work orders, optimize scheduling by calling in “the right person at the right time” and analyze reports from the field.

The Web interface offers advanced parametering that allows companies to custom-configure the Praxedo Mobile application (e.g. generating data entry forms and work order templates).

Thanks to the second module, field workers can access the work order lists assigned to them on their BlackBerry smartphones. Orders are forwarded via a secure wireless connection.

Technicians, delivery people and other mobile workers find out from their BlackBerry smartphones what jobs they are to perform, along with all the information they need to do so (e.g. the address, type of equipment failure, number of parcels to be delivered).

Afterwards, they send their reports directly from the field. On their smartphones, they can access pop-up menus, check boxes, numerical fields and text fields. They can also take photos and record total activity time (the total working day, the length of each operation, etc.), materials used (e.g. spare parts) and mileage.

Field workers with GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones can even use their handset to facilitate navigation and discover the most convenient routes for getting from one service call to the next.

Praxedo publishes the Praxedo Mobile operations management and geolocation platform.

In addition to having the most up-to-date patient records available during out of hours and at home consultations, mCare also enables physicians to securely send consultation details back to the control centre in real-time, saving almost an hour of record updating per shift. Moreover, as the information is temporarily stored in the mCare application, the clinician can work with the patient without worrying about losing data if they are out of wireless coverage.

Ben Stobbs, IT and Telecommunications Manager of NDUC said "It was vital to NDUC that the solution we implemented was secure, cost effective and saved time. Astute worked closely with us in developing the solution with our specific requirements in mind, combining access to clinical records with other value-added functionality."

John Harrison, CEO of NDUC further added, "There isn't a GP who doesn't like the BlackBerry solution because it's changed the way they work and helps them do their jobs better."

About NDUC
Established more than 10 years ago, NDUC is a leading out of hours care provider, serving patients across Northumberland, Newcastle, North and South Tyneside.

Outside of normal GP surgery hours, patient calls are answered by trained call operators at NDUC's Longbenton call centre. In most cases, they will arrange for a GP to call back and if the call is clinically urgent this will be within minutes. The GP will discuss the patient’s symptoms with them and decide on further action if required. In practice, this might mean a face-to-face consultation at one of NDUC's seven urgent care centres, a home visit by a doctor or by providing advice over the telephone.
