Remember Voice on the Go? It’s a call-in service that lets you compose e-mails, search appoints and contacts all through voice commands, and we’re giving away month-long subscriptions for a penny. Fine, that doesn’t really count as giving away, but it’s close enough. Just enter the coupon code VOTG at checkout to get the goods, but the catch is it’s only good for today. If you’ve decided you dig the service after that, you can keep it up for $5.99/month. For anyone who wants to get a head start on the work day on the drive in, this is a good chance to see what’s available. So what have you got a lose? A penny? C’mon, give it a go over here.

Stefano just let us know about Lekane, who have recently announced support for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. With the system they have, you set up a contact centre with a Mobility Server and an enterprise expert team using the handheld Client Container app; the contact team forwards calls and information to the expert team no matter where they are, and the field agents can send information (sales results, updates, etc.) right on back to home base. It sounds like a pretty good way to mitigate calls to a scattered workforce.
Metrico has recently unveiled a new version of their testing system called Muse, which allows manufacturers to test handset voice quality in the field. These guys expanded their testing facilities not too long ago, and have partnered with RIM for previous testing. This new package should provide a solid option for future field testing no matter what new BlackBerrys they’re working with.
The Muse testing system supports the full spectrum of wireless technologies, including GSM, CDMA, UMTS, WiMAX and UMA, and can be used to analyze any type of telephony device. The robust, portable Muse system is affordable enough to allow wireless players to equip all of their wireless and/or audio engineers in the field with the tool.
Josep has noticed that a new edition of BlackBerry for Dummies has been released today, to the jubilation of new BB-users worldwide. I’ve got a few Dummies books kicking around, and they’re all written with clarity, humour and expertise. BlackBerry for Dummies covers the whole slew of basic and intermediate functions, such as e-mail, attachments, the Address Book, MemoPad, Calendar and Calculator, as well as PIN-to-PIN messaging, web surfing and call functions. If you’re interested, you can pick up a copy cheap on Amazon.
Pantech has announced that they’ll be releasing the A1407PT in Japan come November, which conducts sound, both incoming and outgoing, through your skull. Crazy, huh? Conducting conversations this way supposedly cuts down on ambient distortion, and also provides clearer listening for folks with hearing disabilities. The bonephone is a niche-y technology, but innovative nonetheless. If a mobile just partially used the technology to clean up call quality, it would certainly see more widespread use.
Pearl Medical is teaming up with Ring2 to offer its members call conferencing control via BlackBerry. Not only does Ring2‘s interface let you see who’s logged into a call, but you can record the call as an MP3, and assign billing information. Pearl Medical offers a slew of BlackBerry services to medical professionals, with subscription fees that can be subsidized down to £10 per month by answering some online questionnaires. Any job in medicine is a data-intensive affair, so it’s good to see BlackBerry delivering it in whichever way it can.
