better for composing messages than the pen-based character recognition of other PDAs. Experienced
“thumb typers” have reached over 40 words per minute. The addition of the trackwheel makes scrolling
through long messages and navigating pop-up menus extremely easy.
Superior LCD Display
The RIM 950 provides 8 lines x 30 character display (typical number of characters per line, using
proportional font) while the RIM 957 provides 160 x 160 resolution display (16 or 20 lines of text). The
high resolution, high-quality display uses Electro-Luminescent backlighting which provides bright, even
lighting for viewing the display in low-light conditions, making it easy and practical to read both long and
short messages. The compact display and trackwheel make reading long messages quick and easy. The
lines of text that the user is reading are isolated for viewing while the trackwheel allows the user to easily
control the pace of reading.
Desktop Synchronization
‘Puma Technology's Intellisync® product series has become the de facto standard for
synchronizing personal digital assistant (PDA) and hand-held computing data with
conventional PCs.’
Bruce Brown, PC Magazine, April 7, 1998
To ensure fast and reliable synchronization of organizer information between the user’s desktop and RIM
Wireless Handheld, Research In Motion has partnered with Puma Technology™, a leader in the Mobile
Data Exchange™ software category. Powered by Puma's patented DSX (data synchronization extensions)
Technology™, Puma’s information synchronization software product, Intellisync, intelligently moves and
synchronizes information between computers and the new wave of smart devices (phones, pagers, PDAs).
Puma has invested over 250 developer years to offer the DSX Technology and it is this technology which
gives users the assurance that they can safely, accurately, and with minimal effort synchronize their data no
matter what format or platform it needs.
DSX Technology offers an intelligent synchronization process that is "content aware." It looks at the
database information in detail on both sides. To perfect the product, Puma had to identify and solve many
complex problems.
Puma's Intellisync® software with DSX Technology has the following features:
• Examines the details of the database records, from disparate environments, down to the field level, to
determine equivalencies.
• Handles the mapping of fields from one system to another, even when they are not named or structured
the same, or when the user has chosen non-standard mappings.
• Translates fields where needed (e.g. Priority: High = 1).
• Maps a single field into more than one (e.g. Full Name to First/Last).
• Recognizes recurring items and reflects them accurately across platforms.
• Selects only the fields for synchronization that the user has chosen.
• Detects additions, deletions, conflicts, and duplicates, and reports them to you, as you have requested.
• Allows you to intervene on the spot to correct any discovered conflicts, or to select from alternative,
automatic conflict resolution methods.
• Maintains a synchronization history and, when necessary, uses it to ensure complete and accurate
synchronization.
