THUS launches BlackBerry offering for SMEs and corporates

UK carrier THUS has launched its mobile services offering for both large enterprises and small and medium sized business clients, with the introduction of the BlackBerry 7130v from Research In Motion (RIM).

THUS’ SME customers can now benefit from the BlackBerry 7130v with BlackBerry Internet Service through its Demon brand. The BlackBerry 7130v delivers award-winning BlackBerry wireless connectivity to Demon customers, allowing them to stay connected and access data while on the go.  BlackBerry provides wireless access to email, phone text messaging, Internet, calendar and other mobile applications from a single device.  BlackBerry Internet Service, is quick and easy to set up without the need for server software or IT support.. THUS will make additional BlackBerry handsets, including the BlackBerry 8700v, available to Demon and THUS customers in the coming weeks. 
 
BlackBerry will be available as a stand-alone offering or alongside the Demon Remote Worker Solution, a package of communications services that enable remote working for SMEs.  The Demon Remote Working Solution provides cost-effective remote access to business-class and fully-supported telephony, voice conferencing and broadband capabilities.  The addition of a mobile service to complement the Demon Remote Working Solution ensures that customers can stay in touch and access data in the most convenient way, while away from the desk.  It allows customers to effectively use time that would otherwise be lost (for example time spent waiting for meetings or travelling) to enhance workflow and productivity.
 
“Our customers are changing the way they work.  As people spend increasing amounts of time away from the office they need easy and effective ways to stay in touch.  More than that, they require access to up-to-date information and the same applications that they rely on in the office, while on the move.  By launching mobile services for Demon customers we are providing a true “one stop shop” for our customers communications needs,” said Nigel Stevens, Product Director at THUS plc. “Our first offering, the BlackBerry 7130v, is a powerful device that is quick and easy to use, providing full wireless connectivity. Importantly, it enables mobile access to a wide range of applications, allowing users to benefit from productivity and management tools on the move.”
 
The BlackBerry 7130v offers fast, user-friendly web browsing and mobile application support via its powerful processor and a bright, high-resolution colour screen.  The quad-band device is slim and light, featuring easy-to-use SureType keyboard technology, which combines phone and QWERTY keyboard layouts for quick and accurate dialling and typing.  Its comprehensive phone features provide intuitive call management capabilities such as smart dialling, conference calling, speed dial and call forwarding. The device includes Bluetooth® support and built-in speakerphone for hands-free operation.
