GPRS WAP alternative: >> *Cellnet unveils wireless e-mail alternative for U.K. business* totaltele.com Total Telecom staff 27 June 2000 BT Cellnet and Canadian manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) announced on Tuesday they are working together to launch RIM's 'BlackBerry' wireless e-mail system to BT Cellnet's corporate customers in the U.K. Blackberry uses a compact handheld device with a large 16 or 20-line screen, QWERTY keyboard and embedded wireless modem. Already popular in North America, the "always on" system will operate over BT Cellnet's new GPRS network and, the companies say, will allow its users "mobile access to their corporate e-mail system wherever they go." The handsets, which will support both Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes platforms, provide a realistic alternative to using the e-mail functions of a WAP mobile phone. << - Eric -
