Dopod devices now come with BlackBerry Connect
06 December 2006 – Dopod International Corporation and Research In Motion (RIM) today announced the availability of BlackBerry Connect software on the 838Pro and C720W devices for customers in Asia.
Through the existing licensing relationship between High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) and RIM, Dopod International will offer BlackBerry Connect to enable customers of the Windows Mobile-based 838Pro Pocket PC and the C720W smartphone to access popular BlackBerry services with support for both BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service.
“We are very excited to work with RIM and HTC to provide our customers with BlackBerry Connect on the 838Pro and the C720W devices,” said Jack Tong, CEO of Dopod International Corp. “We are committed to offering our customers the best available solutions to meet their wireless data and business needs. We believe BlackBerry Connect will add tremendous value to our existing product offerings and we are looking forward to bringing BlackBerry services available on more devices in the near future.”
“We’re pleased to be working with HTC and Dopod International to expand the reach of BlackBerry in the Asia Pacific region,” said Norm Lo, Vice President of Asia Pacific at RIM. “With BlackBerry Connect, Dopod International’s customers can enhance their mobile communications and productivity through the powerful features and convenience of the BlackBerry service together with the 838Pro and the C720W.”
Supported BlackBerry features include “push”-based wireless email access, wireless email reconciliation and attachment viewing through BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service.
Additional features supported through BlackBerry Enterprise Server include:
wireless calendar synchronization;
remote look-up of corporate email address directory;
Triple DES encryption; and
IT policy enforcement and commands
For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino 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 corporate and multiple personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
Dopod International is now offering BlackBerry Connect on the 838Pro and the C720W in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Availability in other countries in the region will be announced at a later date.
