CSL and Research In Motion today announced an agreement to offer the BlackBerry® wireless solution to mobile professionals in Hong Kong. Operating on CSL's GSM/GPRS network, BlackBerry will provide integrated access to phone, email and mobile data applications via a single color handheld.

"CSL is delighted to partner with RIM in broadening our mobile solutions backed by superior network quality, wide roaming coverage and world-class customer service," said Marisa Kwok, Director, Marketing and Operations at CSL. "BlackBerry will be popular among our business customers because it increases productivity and communications for both individuals and workgroups."

"CSL's partnership with RIM is a natural extension of the successful launch of the BlackBerry wireless solution by our parent, Telstra, in Australia. The synergy brings significant benefits to CSL in service implementation and support," Ms Kwok added.
