BlackBerry Unite! is now available for everyone in Canada and the United States. We first talked about this software a few months ago when Bell Mobility was the first in Canada to launch it. Do lots of reading before installing this software on your BlackBerry make sure that it is exactly what you are looking for. If you still want it click here to visit RIM's download page.

I was up until pretty much 2 o'clock this morning playing with this new software. Turns out you don't have to be a Bell customer to use the software (you simply just have to live in Canada to download it. I managed to test the software out on my non-Bell line last night. The idea behind the software is very neat. The content sharing and syncing is similar to a BES. One of my favorite parts is like a BES you can restrict what users do. I have my phone completely blocked down so I couldn't receive incoming calls or use any third party applications. NOW WARNING! If you install this application MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE as you will have to do a hard reset to remove the Unite! software from your device when finished (unless you want to keep it on?). It works just like a BES server and locks your security IT polices in place until reseted.

UPDATE: Looks like a hard reset doesn't remove the IT polices either. Click here for details on how to remove it.
