5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Most of the features of the product have been widely anticipated, The big surprise, however, is the inclusion of a suite of software enhancements to Windows Mobile 5.0 developed by Palm. These include: - the ability to "dial by name" with a few keystrokes on the keyboard, perform a web search directly from the 'Today Screen' and perform one-touch dialing with personalised photo speed dials; - the ability to manage a call directly from the 'Today Screen' and "stay on top of voicemail with on-screen, VCR-like icons, such as rewind, delete and fast-forward controls for easy navigation"; - the ability to ignore a call and quickly compose a text message, such as "In a meeting" or "Can't talk"; and - a dedicated messaging application for SMS/MMS that is organised in a "chat thread" so users can reference prior messages and use emoticons for a personal touch. The device comes with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for music and video, Bluetooth; a mini-SD expansion slot; and a 1.3 megapixel still and video camera. {moscomment} |
