Bell Selects TeleNav to Power Mobile GPS Navigation Service

Jun. 29, 2007

GPS Nav from Bell Now Available on BlackBerry® 8830

Sunnyvale, Calif. – June 29, 2007 – TeleNav Inc., the first company to launch a GPS navigation service for mobile devices in North America, today announced Bell has chosen the company’s turn-by-turn GPS navigation service, named GPS Nav from Bell, for the new BlackBerry® 8830 smartphone from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM).

GPS Nav from Bell provides users with turn-by-turn, GPS-enabled directions, just like an in-car navigation service, but on a mobile device. It includes full-color, 3D moving maps, voice and on-screen navigation, and information and directions to millions of business listings in North America, including local Wi-Fi hotspots. GPS Nav from Bell automatically updates itself with current information so customers never have to worry about downloading the latest maps or business listings.

“With a smartphone as feature-rich as the new BlackBerry 8830, we believe many business customers will consider this their all-in-one mobile device,” said Adel Bazerghi, Bell Mobility’s vice president of products.  “TeleNav’s GPS service is high-quality, easy-to-use and incorporates relevant features that our customers will enjoy using everyday for both work or play.”

Features of GPS Nav from Bell include:

“There is no reason that anyone needs to invest in an expensive, in-car navigation system or a separate navigation device,” said Dr. HP Jin, president, CEO and co-founder of TeleNav. “GPS Nav from Bell offers customers the same peace of mind and even more features – but on a device they already carry with them.”

Bell customers can download GPS Nav directly from their Blackberry 8830 smartphone. Ongoing subscription to the service costs $10.00 per month, plus a data plan for unlimited usage.
