The only thing that could make showing off your new BlackBerry Bold better
is showing it loaded with EQO's free instant messaging, mobile VoIP and
text messaging app.
SAN FRANCISCO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ --
Users are anxious to get their hands on the newly announced BlackBerry(R)
Bold(TM) smartphone -- a device that takes the BlackBerry experience to a
whole new level. To complement the unveiling of this innovative smartphone,
EQO today announced that it is one of the first mobile applications to
support the Bold, releasing an enhanced version its mobile VoIP,
multi-network IM and mobile messaging software that was specifically
designed to take advantage of its innovative features. Having already
secured a strong following in the BlackBerry community, EQO was recently
named one of this year's Laptop Magazine's "Top 10 BlackBerry
Applications." Bold users are certain to appreciate what tons of EQO
BlackBerry users already know -- chatting with all of your IM buddies or
staying in touch with friends, family and business contacts using EQO's
cheap mobile VoIP and free texting application is a multi-tasker's dream.
"BlackBerry owners are some of the most groundbreaking mobile users,
and the Bold is sure to inspire a growing number of BlackBerry converts,"
said EQO CEO Bill Tam. "Although a lot of people traditionally associate
BlackBerry usage with business, we've seen huge interest in our product
from both the business and consumer segments. We built EQO with this in
mind, so users can get the best of both worlds -- having a really cool app
on their phone that meshes with business and pleasure."
The BlackBerry Bold takes the EQO experience to the next level by
enabling users to:
-- Multitask like never before -- voice and data services can now run
simultaneously, so this means EQO users can now make calls and chat on MSN,
AIM, Yahoo, ICQ or GTalk, all at the same time.
-- Use the Bold's built-in Wi-Fi capabilities -- EQO users can now
automatically switch from 3G to Wi-Fi whenever they're in range of a
hotspot.
-- Chat with friends faster than ever -- with the optimized keyboard
design, EQO users will be typing so fast, their friends will think they are
sending IMs from a computer, rather than a mobile.
As part of its commitment to BlackBerry and in celebration of the 2008
Beijing Olympics, EQO just concluded its wildly successful "Go for the Gold
with EQO" promotion, awarding the grand prize winner with a BlackBerry
smartphone.
