Shares of Research In Motion jumped as much as 4 percent to near an eight-month high after it reached a deal with India that appeared to protect its secure corporate email service. 

In addition, tech website Boy Genius Report published details of three unreleased BlackBerrysmartphones with a new technology that allows consumers to pay for purchases by waving the phone against a special terminal. 

RIM declined to comment directly on the Boy Genius report, but said it plans to incorporate so-called near-field communications, or NFC, technologies in future products and will give more details later.
