Blackberry expanded its Enterprise Solution service into Uganda through partnership with Celtel Uganda and Emitac Mobile Solutions LLC (EMS). Because of this strong partnership, Celtel subscribers in Uganda with BlackBerry cellular phones will be able to access corporate email wherever they go.

According to Celtel spokesman, the very first BlackBerry smartphone that will be available for Celtel’s customers is the BlackBerry® 8800 that features built-in GPS for location based services and applications such as BlackBerry® Maps (also included), a media player, expandable memory slot and a trackball navigation system.

“We are pleased to introduce the BlackBerry solution in Uganda with Celtel and are confident that Celtel customers will benefit from access to the world’s leading wireless technology,” said Mr. Babar Khan, CEO of Emitac Mobile Solutions, a BlackBerry Strategic Channel Partner for the Middle East and Africa.

“We continue to extend the global availability of the BlackBerry solution and are pleased to be launching today in Uganda with Celtel and EMS. BlackBerry smartphones are a great choice for individuals that strive to be more productive, flexible and ultimately more successful in work and life,” said Charmaine Eggberry, Vice President and Managing Director of EMEA at Research In Motion.
