Trigcom has become the first mobile carrier to introduce RIM's BlackBerry wireless platform in Norway. Offered initially on the BlackBerry 8700g handset, the BlackBerry service will provide support for email, phone, text messaging, Internet, organizer and corporate data applications.

"This is a great day for Trigcom and for our customers. As the first mobile carrier to offer BlackBerry in Norway, we are pleased to be working with RIM to deliver this
solution to our customers," said Helge Birkeland, CEO, Trigcom. "Many customers have been waiting for the opportunity to buy BlackBerry in Norway and we have already seen great interest among a diverse range of Norwegian companies. We are pleased to now support them with our dedicated BlackBerry sales and support services."

The BlackBerry 8700g will operate on Trigcom's GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks. The features of the device include a 65k colors LCD display with light sensing technology, dedicated 'send', 'end' and 'mute' keys, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dialing, call forwarding, speakerphone and Bluetooth. Trigcom will introduce the BlackBerry 8700g in conjunction with BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, Novell GroupWise and IBM Lotus Domino and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.

"With the Trigcom launch in Norway, we are pleased to provide Norwegian customers with all the benefits of BlackBerry, a mobile tool that enables users to be more productive, flexible and successful in both work and life," said Charmaine Eggberry, Vice President and Managing Director of EMEA at Research In Motion.
