Get the convenience of a laptop computer, cell-phone, two-way pager plus wireless email - combined - for the executive on the move.
Cbeyond has done the homework so you don't have to. Our extensive marketing and usability research have clearly demonstrated that the BlackBerry smartphone is the ultimate business tool.
The BlackBerry® Connect™ technology will help you and your employees make the most of time and be more responsive to customers and colleagues with award-winning BlackBerry push technology. This means that you can send and receive email from up to 10 individual email accounts, virtually in real-time. Unlike other handhelds where you have to execute a command to tell the unit to look for messages and then wait while they are pulled to the device, the BlackBerry solution pushes email directly to the handheld, milliseconds after it is sent.
Cbeyond has made it easy for you to decide which BlackBerry device is right for your small business. Use the table below to compare and contrast the two available handset models.
