Sprint said it will expand the availability of its wireless e-mail application to all of its Java-capable mobile phones. The application was previously available only on select phones.
“Having secure, real-time access to corporate e-mail, contacts and other information is key to helping companies boost productivity, lower operating costs and increase customer satisfaction,” said Tim Donahue, vice president of Sprint’s Enterprise Marketing operations. “By extending Sprint PCS Business Connection to Java-enabled devices, we are giving our business customers more options for choosing a remote-access solution that is best suited for its mobile workforce.”
Sprint’s wireless e-mail offering is based on technology from Seven. The carrier’s Business Connection application is aimed at both individuals and corporate information technology managers and can connect to Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, POP and IMAP information, including e-mail, calendar and contacts.
Seven is one of several companies selling wireless e-mail applications to wireless carriers.
