BlackBerry 7230 |
To date, it has mainly been larger businesses which have provided the hand-held email device to its employees. Now, O2 is offering smaller businesses and freelancers the same flexibility and mobility to send and receive emails from the portable handheld device when you are on the move or away from a laptop.
Internet mail with BlackBerry is easy to set up as it requires no corporate server, no management and no maintenance. Small businesses and freelancers can buy a BlackBerry handheld and register for the Internet Mail service. You can then link up to 10 existing internet-based email accounts to the Internet Mail service with BlackBerry. Any emails that are sent to those addresses will be pushed to the BlackBerry handheld without the need to go into each email account, and, as it operates on a permanent GPRS connection, there are no dial-up delays.
You can then receive and reply to emails with the simple handheld device from anywhere - even abroad.
