^{Search, mail and chat} RIM to offer Yahoo! services to BlackBerry users

Yahoo! and Research In Motion is bringing Yahoo!’s services to BlackBerry users around the world. The new services available to BlackBerry users include Yahoo! Go for Mobile, Yahoo! Search, Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger.

Yahoo also works closely with Nokia providing some of the same services for Nokia’s S60 handsets.

“Our Yahoo! users want to access our services from all of their connected devices. Together with RIM, we can make it easy for the millions of BlackBerry users to have access to their favorite Yahoo! products and services while on the go,” said Marco Boerries, senior vice president, connected life, Yahoo!.

Yahoo! and RIM are working together to introduce Yahoo! Go for Mobile to the BlackBerry platform.

Yahoo! Go for Mobile will integrate a full range of Yahoo!’s leading products into a single, comprehensive experience for BlackBerry users. With a single click on a Yahoo! Go for Mobile icon, BlackBerry users will have direct access to a full suite of Yahoo! services, including real-time access to Yahoo!’s community, information and content services.

The availability of the services has not been announced.
