Over the decade I have been using mobile phones to view email, I have noticed how users get completely addicted to their devices. I recall walking around with a Nokia flip phone - circa 2000 that I finally gave up for a Motorola phone circa 2004! I still think both vendors offer great phones. Today, I walk around with a Pearl from Blackberry. 2007 marks the first time in a decade that I have accepted a Blackberry as a phone and an email device. Before I carried both. I get the critical email content from various sources (personal and enterprise) sent to me through www.amikamobile.net . I don’t bother synching my Blackberry since I don’t want the 200 or so messages I get a day to come to me mobile. I am finding this is a good way to separate what I have to absolutely address while away from my Inbox. Essentially, Amika Mobile creates a personalized mobile phone through its white/black lists and filtering options. I am definitely an addict of mobile email and am very fussy about my mobile device. I know people who have steadfastly refused to give up their devices until the keys start to fail. The reason for this besides the form factor, look and feel is the information that these devices have onboard in terms of contacts and now pictures.
The use of filtering words during the sign-on at www.amikamobile.net creates a highly personalized mobile phone, thereby increasing the efficacy of the forwarding of critical email alerts and their relevance to every user. Filtering can be amended later by returning to the sign-on page and making changes, additions and/or deletions as necessary.
