Overall Assessment Letter for RIM Model RBS21CW
FCC id: L6ARBS20CW
I have reviewed this application and find it compliant.
This is an application for a handheld Blackberry which supports CDMA, Bluetooth and aGPS.
Since it also has an USB port for connection to Computers a filing for a Class B Computer peripheral has
also been made
Please note the following:

1:       Part 15 Clause 15.203

         While not explicitly reported within the test report, there is ready evidence within the application
         showing that the Antenna is internal to the equipment and not able to be changed without damage to
         the equipment.

         Test set up photos

         This exhibit includes files covering the
             e Test Set up for the EMC and Radio tests
             e Test Set up for the SAR tests
             e Test Set up for the HAC tests

         Spread Spectrum Declarations

         The various declarations to meet the Spread Spectrum requirements are included in the Operating
         Description exhibit.

         SAR


4.1                General

         The highest reported Head SAR for CDMA190O0 was 1.48 W/kg at 1851.25 MHz in left—hand cheek
         configuration. The highest reported Head SAR for CDMA8OO was 0.99 W/kg at 824.7 MHz in right—
         hand cheek configuration.

         The highest reported Body SAR for CDMA1900 was 1.25 Wi/kg at 1851.25 MHz using a Sports
         Case holster (provides 16mm spacing) and strap in rear facing phantom position. The highest
         reported Body SAR for CDMA8OO was 0.89W/kg at 824.70 MHz using a Horizontal holster (provides
         16mm spacing) in rear facing phantom position. The highest Body SAR with 2.5 cms separation was
         0.49 Wi/kg at 824.70 MHz.

Registered in England and Wales Company Number — 1633985                                                           52 TUV

                                                                                              B A/B T
          Assessment in top, middle and bottom channels of each CDMA band was performed using the
          Horizontal holster and Sports Case holster and Strap in standard rear facing phantom configuration,
          with each holster providing a separation distance of 16mm. The worst case frequency channel
          obtained from the assessment was further investigated using the White Leather Swivel, Black
          Premium Leather and Euro Swivel holsters, providing a separation distance of 21mm, 21mm and
          18mm respectively.

          The holster configuration which provided the worst case SAR in each band was then used to
          configure a body SAR test in front facing phantom configuration for each band. A Headset was
          connected to the device for SAR assessment in each band in the worst case configuration obtained.
          Bluetooth and CDMA were enabled simultaneously in each band in the worst case configuration for
          SAR assessment in standard rear facing phantom position. Finally, the device was configured
          without the use of a holster or accessory in rear facing phantom position with 2.5 cms separation for
          SAR assessment in each band.

          | underwent the FCC RF exposure evaluation training at BABT in July 2007.


4.2              Bluetooth and Co—Transmission

          The Bluetooth transmitter is categorically exempt and below the low threshold. No SAR evaluation
          occurred with this transmitter operating singly.

          The product supports simultaneous transmission. There was no significant change in the
          CDMA19O0O or CDMA80O0 Body SAR value when both transmitters were active.

5:        HAC Testing

          Although the device is capable of co—transmission (CDMA and Bluetooth) the client has confirmed
          that the Bluetooth is used to support Wireless Headsets and is not functional for use when near the
          head.

          Consequently it was viewed that this could be reviewed by a TCB.

5.1              Speaker and T—Coil

         The T—coil is not concentric with the speaker and therefore appropriate RF Emissions tests were
         performed within the RF Emissions test report.

6:       aoPS

         This device contains a GPS receiver to support the FCC E911 requirement for caller location
         identification and operates at 1.575MHz. The technical specification for the GPS receiver lists the
         GPS receive path as being totally independent of the main CDMA cell and PCS receive path. The
         user manual complies with Part 15 Clause 5.




Yours sincerely
