Yahoo! Go for Mobile will integrate a full range of Yahoo!'s leading products into a single, comprehensive experience for BlackBerry users. From the Yahoo! Go for Mobile icon, BlackBerry users will have access to Yahoo! services, including real-time access to Yahoo!'s community, information and content services.

BlackBerry users will also be able to get real-time delivery of email sent to their Yahoo! Mail accounts. Enhanced wireless synchronization of sent and deleted items as well as read/unread message status provide users with more flexibility to manage their email accounts while on the go. Future development plans will also allow Yahoo! users to wirelessly import, modify and synchronize their Yahoo! Address Book and Yahoo! Calendar entries using their BlackBerry devices.

With Yahoo! Search on BlackBerry, users can access to Yahoo!'s search services through an icon located directly on the BlackBerry main screen. Yahoo! and RIM are also working together to expand the reach of Yahoo! Messenger to all BlackBerry users worldwide.
