Things are really looking up for our Spanish RIM friends. First the new BlackBerry Pearl launches exclusive on their shores, and now this bit of juicy gossip. It seems that RIM and Telefonica have been doing a bit of work behind the scenes. The two companies have just announced a new suite of software tools designed to give consumer BIS customers of bit of the BES experience. The Unite! Suite as it’s called, allows users to sync and share calendars, PC content, media, and more between up to 5 handsets. It even allows admins to impose "Rules" and lockdown devices, a la BES administrator policies. The best part, however, is that this is going to be offered completely free of charge to current and future Telefonica subscribes.

Don’t get too excited. A service like this would never be offered for free in the US
