5 Comments
Cingular on June 18 will deliver an update to customers with Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones, which will enable them to receive e-mail as it comes in through push technology. The Messaging and Security Feature Pack connects to Exchange Server 2003 and additionally supports receiving calendar items, contacts and tasks.
The Direct Push feature will only be available to Cingular's B2B customers and will cost either $29.99 or $44.99 with a qualifying voice plan, depending on the phone. The update will also improve security and device management by bolstering password enforcement and adding remote password wipe, as well as certificate-based authentication and FIPS 140-2 certification.
