Wireless Access to Contact Lists Means

Bedminster, NJ, San Jose, California
and SAN DIEGO- April 28, 2003 - From the 2003 BREW Developers
Conference, Verizon Wireless, the largest wireless service
provider, and Xpherix Corporation, the leader in personalized
mobile connectivity, today announced that iPhonebook is now
available on Get It Now from Verizon Wireless. iPhonebook
wirelessly links content from Microsoft Outlook®, Outlook
Express® or Palm® desktop PIM to Get It Now-enabled
phones.
"iPhonebook reflects the needs of
the busy mobile professional, and in fact, anyone who needs
access to contact information when away from the office or
home," said Nick Walker, Xpherix president and CEO. "No
longer will these 'road warriors' have to carry multiple devices,
put up with manual entry or miss making important calls because
they don't have proper contact information. We are pleased
that Verizon Wireless is making iPhonebook easily available
to its more than 30 million customers."
iPhonebook offers one-device convenience
for all personal address book phone numbers. The wireless
phone display can also be used to browse other personal address
book content such as addresses, email addresses and the Notes
field, eliminating the need to carry electronic organizers,
laptops or bulky address books. Additionally, the Download
Contacts feature enables users to populate the phone's built-in
phonebook automatically with contacts from the desktop PIM.
