Research in Motion and Tango, a part of Sweden based telecommunications giant Tele 2, will offer Blackberry service for enterprise users and consumer users later this year.

Tango is committed to providing the best mobile solutions on the market and BlackBerry is the leading wireless solution for mobile customers that want to stay connected and productive while on the go,” said Alex Zivoder, CEO Tango/Tele2 Luxembourg.  “We are pleased to provide our customers with BlackBerry for their communication and information needs. Mobile professionals from many industries and government organizations will join more than three million people worldwide who are using the powerful BlackBerry solution to enhance the way they communicate.

RBC Capital Markets, today downgraded Research in Motion from “Outperform” to “Sector Perform”.  The target price is set to $100.  Increased competition by the likes of Microsoft, which is likely to announce an Enterprise Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0, and Good Technology, that just inked a deal with Cingular to offer their GoodLink Software as part of Cingular’s customers plans, is imminent.  RBC Capital Markets doesn’t expect this new competition to adversely impact Research in Motions longer-term franchise, however.
