NextMail, Mobile Worker Tool, Available for HTC EVO, Other Sprint Phones
To enable fast and easy communications for mobile workers, Sprint announced the expanded availability of NextMail, powered by Pacific DataVision, to all Sprint devices, including the new HTC EVO 4G.
NextMail allows mobile professionals to instantaneously send a recorded voice message to up to 50 e-mail addresses, or also send the voice message via text message to up to 50 mobile devices and receive a "Listen to" notification. The message can easily be sent with the push of a button (Direct Connect on a Nextel device, or Send on any Sprint or Nextel device). It is a quick and simple way to record, document and share information from the field to office colleagues -- no more need for handwritten notes or thumb-typing on small keypads.
In addition, NextMail Professional (previously known as NextMail Locator) enhances the standard service by offering users the ability to include location information and pictures with a NextMail message. For example, first responders, inspectors and others can use this tool to document, validate and share the details involved in an incident, including its GPS location and interactive map, photos and provide their command centers with real-time situational awareness.
"In today's business climate, companies need solutions that improve productivity, increase profitability and enhance customer satisfaction," said Tom Roberts, vice president of Business Marketing, Sprint. "Historically available only on Nextel devices as an extension of Nextel Direct Connect, NextMail is an ideal solution for companies with highly mobile workers. Industries like construction, field services, distribution and many public sector entities will find NextMail to be a critical business tool to communicate with many people instantly, especially in places where typing isn't convenient, and to document thorough and accurate information."
