RIM revealed plans nearly a year ago for a cloud-based service to integrate Microsoft’s Office 365 service with BlackBerry mobile devices. In October, RIM unveiled more specific details, and launched a beta program for the new service. Now, BlackBerry Cloud Services are finally available to the general public.

The BlackBerry Cloud Service is hosted by RIM, and extends the capabilities of BlackBerry smartphones by integrating the Microsoft Office 365 backend. BlackBerry devices using the service can connect with Microsoft Exchange Online data, such as email, calendar, and contacts.
