Offering Hotspot Office Public WLAN access at over 700 Hotspots across Switzerland, an integrated QUERTZ keyboard, landscape-format presentation, four additional keys that can be programmed for your favourite applications, versions in German and French, and much more besides - the Orange SPV M2000 PDA Smartphone is a first for Switzerland and has lots of new features in store. Although the SPV M2000 is not out until the beginning of November, the Orange Hotspot Office Public WLAN offer is already available.
Orange continues to forge ahead with the success of its SPV Smartphones. Just like its predecessors, the SPV M2000 has everything you could possibly need to work efficiently while on the move: text and voice functions, Pocket Outlook, Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, PDF and Powerpoint Viewer, as well as many other applications and functions.
Mobile working is now even more practical and efficient with the Orange SPV M2000 thanks to high-speed access to the Internet via Public WLAN. Orange, together with its partners Monzoon, TPN and TheNet is offering fast mobile Internet access at over 700 Public WLAN-Hotspots.
The Orange Hotspot Office can be used just as easily with the Orange SPV M2000 as with a laptop equipped with an integrated or external WLAN card.
Orange customers can sign up for Hotspot Office by sending a free SMS indicating "START PWLAN" to short code 1555. There is no monthly fee. As soon as the customer is online, use of the Public WLAN will be charged at CHF 0.50 per minute for the first 200 minutes,. Once the amount of CHF 100.- has been reached, any further use in the same month is free. The corresponding charge is conveniently added to the monthly mobile phone bill. That means no more complicated, costly payments by credit card.
Via Public WLAN, the SPV M2000 makes it possible to send and receive e-mails with hefty attachments quickly and easily, even during a phone conversation. The ability to view contents on screen in a landscape format makes surfing the Internet for example , even more enjoyable. Mobile data synchronisation with a business server is also possible any time, any place.
