Through the existing licensing relationship between High Tech Computer Corp. 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.
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 and government 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.
