The Computerphone? Business on the Go is Easier Than Ever

November 2002 (Newstream) -- The line between computers and cellular phones is being erased with next generation PDA/phone hybrids. The much-anticipated release of Nextel's BlackBerry 6510 could make everything in the office available in a single handheld device.

The new hybrid combines Nextel's cellular phone service - and its exclusive Direct Connect (TM) 'walkie-talkie' technology - with BlackBerry's wireless email access to make the ultimate business tool. The phone, which looks like a mini-computer with a large format screen and full keyboard, offers many computer functions: secure access to corporate email, a personal organizer with calendar and contacts that works with multiple email and organizer software packages, Internet access and Java-enabled business applications.

The device can also link up to corporate intranets and back office systems, allowing inventory tracking, order entry and other tasks to be done on the run.

BlackBerry PDAs are used by about 13,000 businesses and organizations in North America and Europe. Nextel is a leader in wireless business solutions. The device will be available on December 2, 2002. For more information, visit www.nextel.com.
