The latest offer from Orange - the BlackBerry Internet Service - New service for the BlackBerry 7290

Lausanne (ots)

Orange is now offering the BlackBerry Internet
Service for the BlackBerry 7290, making it possible for  small
businesses, the self-employed and even private users to take
advantage of the popular 'Push' function when receiving emails on the
move. Combined with the Blackberry Internet Service, the BlackBerry
7290 can manage up to ten email accounts. Orange is the first and
only mobile operator in Switzerland offering the BlackBerry Internet
Service.
"For many self-employed professionals, such as lawyers, doctors,
architects, consultants, journalists, etc, mobile email is an
essential tool of their trade, enabling them to process and forward
time-critical information on the move. The BlackBerry Internet
Service allows you to enjoy the benefits of the BlackBerry service -
as currently enjoyed by larger enterprises - without having to invest
in a complete server infrastructure," says Roland Stettler, Vice
President Business Channels for Orange.
Until now, only employees in companies with their own messaging
server infrastructure (Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes/Lotus
Domino) and a BlackBerry Enterprise Server were able to benefit from
the BlackBerry device in Switzerland. Now, thanks to the new offer
from Orange, the BlackBerry 7290 together with the BlackBerry
Internet Service - the popular multi-function solution with the
'Push' function for emails - is available for small businesses, the
self employed and private customers. As part of the offer, the
BlackBerry Internet Service offers a new email account
(username@blackberry.orange.ch). Access to further email accounts can
be gained through this single email account, regardless of who the
Internet provider (e.g. Bluewin, Green, Hispeed, Orangemail, etc.)
for emails is. Emails are collected by the BlackBerry Internet
Service from the respective email accounts and transferred to the
BlackBerry 7290 using the 'Push' function. In this way, the
BlackBerry Internet Service provides users with the potential to
manage up to ten business or private email accounts (POP3/IMAP). A
range of settings for the email account as, signature and the
management of the attachements can be carried out from a PC or laptop
via the BlackBerry Internet Service website.
BlackBerry devices now enjoy near cult status thanks to the
synthesis of mobile phone and email functionality. The BlackBerry
7290 is a quad-band mobile telephone (with 850, 900, 1800 and 1900
MHz) with integrated functions for email, calendar, organizer,
Internet and text messaging. The QWERTZ keyboard and simplified
trackwheel navigation makes handling easy and intuitive. The 240 x
160 pixel screen can display over 65,000 colours and bluetooth allows
the use of wireless headsets.
