Sprint and RIM Introduce BlackBerry 8703e Featuring Sprint Mobile Broadband and GPS Capability

Sprint gives customers the power to do more in more places on the nationâ€™s largest mobile broadband network

RESTON, Va., and WATERLOO, ON. - Sprint (NYSE: S) and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today introduced the BlackBerry® 8703e from Sprint with updated features, including EV-DO support and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) capability in a sleek and light design. The BlackBerry 8703e is the latest BlackBerry handset offered by Sprint that is capable of taking advantage of broadband-like speeds provided by the Sprint Power VisionSM Network(1) - the nation’s largest mobile broadband network covering more than 157 million people in 216 major metropolitan areas as well as 486 airports across the nation. The BlackBerry 8703e enhances productivity, extends the workplace, and provides Sprint customers flexibility for managing life on the go.

“Sprint is providing mobile professionals the ability to leverage every available moment, by making those available moments more productive,” said Danny Bowman, vice president of product marketing for Sprint. “Mobile professionals, as well as working families, are looking for ways to stay in touch, and a mobile handset like the BlackBerry 8703e can give them the peace of mind and flexibility they are looking for so that they can continue to be productive and do what they want, when they want.”
