Quick, name your top travel annoyance.
Standing in a long line at the airport? Cancelled flight? Getting lost? Missing a wakeup call?
Now imagine spending 300 days a year on the road, as many business travelers do. You'd want a traveling companion that helped you meet these challenges quickly and effectively. You could always hire a personal assistant (expensive). Then again, you could also bring your Windows Mobile-based Smartphone along for the ride.
Smartphones were built with the business traveler in mind, says Matt Philips, the vice president for UTStarcom's Smartphone division. There are all kinds of clever features built into them, such as the ability to log any new contacts directly into the phone instead of collecting—and then maybe losing—business cards. "Best of all," he adds, "it all comes in a device that can fit into a shirt pocket."
A Smartphone is not just a phone. It's a small computer that allows you to answer and send e-mail, check your calendar and contacts, listen to music and videos, browse the Internet—the list goes on. When you're traveling as much as you are, you need everything to be just a little bit better. Even if you don't live out of a suitcase, a Smartphone will make your business travel easier. So how can a Smartphone fix the most common business travel annoyances?
Nightmare #1. Does this line have an end?
Nightmare #2. I need to take my client to lunch and I've never been in this town.
Nightmare #3. I've forgotten the time and place I was supposed to meet my new client.
Nightmare #4. Help, I'm lost!
Nightmare #5. Uh-oh, I missed my wakeup call and now I'm late to the meeting.
