[Waterloo, CANADA] – GoAmerica,

subscribe to the Go.Web service.

“By packaging Go.Web with BlackBerry, we are offering customers a single
source for wireless Internet and email access and simplifying the buying
process,” said Joe Korb, executive vice president of GoAmerica.

“The Go.Web technology enables wireless Internet access and complements
RIM’s existing offerings, providing access to Internet content that our
customers desire,” said David Werezak, vice president of marketing at
Research In Motion.

BlackBerry customers will be able to activate the Go.Web service through
GoAmerica, and all billing and customer support will be handled by
GoAmerica.

Through development and integration of hardware, software and services,
Research in Motion provides solutions for seamless access to
time-sensitive information including email, messaging, Internet and
intranet-based applications.
