AVEA the leading GSM carrier of Turkey together with mail2web.com
today launched a new service called MobileOffice. The service enables
smartphones like BlackBerry and Microsoft ActiveSync compatible phones
to wirelessly sync email, calendar, tasks, contacts and documents with
Microsoft PUSH technology.
With brands like Nokia, SonyEricsson, Samsung and Motorola
supporting the PUSH technology developed by Microsoft, customers can
choose from a wide variety of compatible handsets to use this new

added service which bridges the gap between regular phone users and
office applications like Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint
Services.
