After slashing $200 off from BlackBerry PlayBook’s price, Research in Motion decided to make another interesting offer to its enterprise customers. The company has just announced that it gives away BlackBerry PlayBook tablets to all business customers willing to update to BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0. However, the promotional offer is only available until December 31.

Business customers who are tempted to take advantage of the deal might want to know what exactly will get instead.

According to RIM, end users who choose BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 will enjoy the following benefits: enhanced calendar functionality, remote file access, email folder management, synchronization of public and private contacts and more productivity features.

IT admins will also benefit from the service, as they will be able to make more practical use of the Advanced Mobile Management via a new administrative console. For more details on the deal check out RIM’s blog.
