Enjoy familiar features wirelessly

You can enjoy a desktop-like experience on your BlackBerry device, with features and functionality you're already familiar with from Microsoft Office Communicator. There's no need to compromise just because you are away from your computer.

• Group Chat sessions of three or more participants can be initiated and managed from the device
• View a contact’s presence with statuses for online, busy, do not disturb, be right back, away or appear offline
• Contact List is synchronized with the Live Communications Server, so contacts are available on your BlackBerry device and desktop
• Receive alerts when a team member(s) becomes available

Plus, you'll enjoy tight integration with other applications on your BlackBerry device:

• Use a distinct alert profile for newly received instant messages (integrated with BlackBerry notification profiles)
• Phone calls or browser sessions can be initiated directly from phone numbers or URLs embedded in instant messages
