SAN FRANCISCO -- Cingular Wireless in November will enable its subscribers to use Research in Motion's BlackBerry software on a non-BlackBerry device for the first time, the mobile operator announced Wednesday at the CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment show here this week.

The BlackBerry Connect software will be available on the Nokia 9300, a flip-open handset with a QWERTY keyboard, Cingular said in a statement Wednesday. BlackBerry Connect is software that RIM is beginning to license to third parties for use on non-RIM devices. RIM's BlackBerry, one of the first handhelds to have a keyboard, has become a familiar sight as business users rely on it for real-time e-mail on the road. Cingular said it will be the first U.S. operator to offer BlackBerry Connect.
