Cingular Customers Can Get Wireless E-Mail in a New York Minute
Cingular's Xpress Mail(SM) With BlackBerry(R) Goes Retail;
Locations in Metro NYC to Feature New Products for Mobile
Professionals NEW YORK, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The days of
spending your daily commute staring out the train window, teeth
grinding, worried about the e-mail piling up in your inbox are
over. Now, thanks to Cingular Wireless, you can have instant access
to your e-mail anytime - and getting the service is as simple as
walking into any Cingular store in New York City. To meet demand
from small businesses and mobile professionals, Cingular Wireless
is now offering in retail stores its flagship wireless e-mail and
phone offering, Xpress Mail(SM) with the BlackBerry 6280(TM) and
BlackBerry 7280(TM) wireless handhelds. Because BlackBerry
handhelds maintain a constant connection to Cingular's wireless
network, customers don't have to "dial up" to get their e-mail.
Retail locations throughout the metro area will have retail space
dedicated to these and other business products. "Many small
business owners and mobile professionals rely on technology such as
wireless e-mail to give them a competitive edge," Glen Moyes,
Director of Marketing for Cingular's New York City region. "Giving
them easy access to wireless e-mail products, via dedicated
business-specific space in our New York stores, allows us to meet
those needs quickly, easily and conveniently." Citing the need for
increased and easier access to wireless products that help make
small businesses and mobile professionals more productive, Cingular
designed these business-specific areas to allow customers to easily
find the products they need. In addition, Cingular's advanced
offerings for small businesses and mobile professionals will
continue to expand, reflecting the growth in this market segment.
Cingular is supporting this initiative with its first major
consumer campaign for the Xpress Mail with BlackBerry e-mail
service. The outdoor advertising campaign targets New York City
commuters who could reap the benefits of Cingular's Xpress Mail
with BlackBerry service. One ad, for example, compares "After I
finish my e-mails I'll try to make the 7:33" to "I'll be on the
6:21 finishing my e-mails." Business Products Some of the featured
products in the new store business section include the BlackBerry
6280(TM) and BlackBerry 7280(TM). These tri-band wireless handhelds
combine top-of-the-line voice features, including conference
calling and international roaming, and data services, e-mail
access, wireless Internet access, along with the ability to synch
calendars, contacts and to-do lists. The BlackBerry handhelds,
developed by Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM), work seamlessly on
Cingular's GSM/GPRS networks, giving Xpress Mail customers access
to the best integrated voice and data coverage in the country.
Cingular customers using BlackBerry can easily view e-mail
attachments and wirelessly reconcile e-mail messages between their
PCs and BlackBerry handhelds. Pricing for BlackBerry service begins
at $29.99 per month, for customers with a Cingular voice plan.
E-mail-only plans are available starting at $34.99 per month. The
price of the BlackBerry 6280 handheld is as low as $249, with a
two-year contract. The price of the BlackBerry 7280 handheld is as
low as $349, with a two-year contract. For more information about
