DoCoMo and RIM Announce Japanese Text Input Support for BlackBerry
Tokyo, Japan - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (DoCoMo) and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced Japanese-language text input support for the BlackBerry� 8707h smartphone, which is available in Japan via DoCoMo.
The addition of Japanese-language support for the BlackBerry 8707h will help satisfy customers who are interested in deploying BlackBerry smartphones in Japanese-language environments. Customers will be able to compose and read Japanese e-mails, browse Japanese websites and input Japanese text for personal information management (PIM) applications. A Japanese user interface will also be available.
The launch of Japanese-language support will also include the localization of BlackBerry� Enterprise Server and BlackBerry� Desktop Manager.
