Samsung Instinct Gets Access to MS Exchange, Lotus Domino Calendars

Sprint customers with a Samsung Instinct can now can get mobile access to their corporate calendar.

This carrier worked with SEVEN, one of the leading providers of mobile messaging solutions, to give Instinct users to access to calendars from Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, 2003 or 2007, or IBM Lotus Domino. Users can view and update their work calendar, create and delete appointments and more.

The calendar feature is an extension of Sprint's Mobile Email Work, which gives users access to business email and contacts.

The Full Work Calendar

Mobile Email Work with corporate calendar sync includes monthly, weekly, and daily views of the user’s schedule, along with a view that displays the details about each appointment or meeting. Reminders bring upcoming appointments or meetings to the user’s attention.

Users can edit existing appointments, accept or decline meeting requests, or create new single-date, multi-date, or all-day appointments. Users also can delete appointments and meetings.

All changes made on the Instinct are automatically synchronized with the user’s desktop calendar.

Availability: Now

For Instinct users, this feature will be provided as a software update to customers who already have Mobile Email Work.

Those who are new to Sprint Mobile Email and want to activate the service can do so directly through the email menu –- no software download is required. Once email is activated, customers will be prompted to accept the upgrade to enable corporate calendar access.

In addition to the Samsung Instinct, Sprint plans to extend corporate calendar sync to additional non-PDA phones in the future.
