New GPS-Enabled BlackBerry Curve Helps Customers Navigate With Style

First U.S. Introduction of BlackBerry Curve 8310 Brings Built-In GPS and New Colors to Popular Handset

San Antonio - AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) have announced the availability of the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8310, which adds the power of built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) to the popular BlackBerry Curve, which was first introduced in the U.S. through AT&T. In addition to GPS, the new BlackBerry Curve 8310 advances the original design with two new eye-catching colors for AT&T customers.

With the BlackBerry Curve 8310 handset’s built-in GPS capabilities, customers can take advantage of location-based applications and services such as TeleNav® GPS Navigator™, which provides GPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen directions that feature colorful 3-D moving maps and traffic alerts with rerouting. Customers will find TeleNav GPS Navigator useful in vehicles as well as while walking.

Building on its incredible visual appeal, the BlackBerry Curve 8310 from AT&T is available in two new eye-catching colors — titanium and red. The red model is available in the U.S. exclusively from AT&T.

“The introduction of exciting new handsets, such as the BlackBerry Curve 8310 with GPS, helps enhance AT&T’s position as the world’s leading provider of BlackBerry services with one of the most compelling BlackBerry handset portfolios in the industry,” said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Voice/Data and Wireless Products, AT&T. “Earlier this year, AT&T was the first carrier in North America to introduce the BlackBerry 8800 with built-in GPS, followed by the BlackBerry 8820 with Wi-Fi and GPS. Both handsets have an enterprise focus. Now, through the BlackBerry Curve 8310, AT&T is bringing GPS capabilities to a much broader audience of not only business users but also mobile professionals and consumers.”

"GPS navigation and location-based services add a powerful new dimension to the mobile user experience" said Mark Guibert, vice president, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. "The addition of GPS functionality, together with industry-leading communications applications, advanced multimedia capabilities and AT&T’s value-added navigation and media services, makes the BlackBerry Curve 8310 an exceptional phone for both business and personal use"
