Hi
I would like to purchase a mobile phone/blackberry/or something similar.
I need to be able to email clients and attach a word or pdf document. Is there a product out there that will enable me to do this. I presume that it will connect to my pc somehow. As you can probably tell, im not really up to date with the latest technology.
Any help will be appreciated
 
ok, well from the lack of response i presume that i didnt explain myself correctly, so i will refrase.
If i have a blackberry or some similar gadget, is it possible to forward on an email with attachments, either excell, word or pdf.
Thankyou
 
Hi pgrim, I believe thi sis possible with some phones, I know that Vodafoen have a phone that you can download and view attachements and I think you could forward them on.
I had an O2 XDA orbit and it worked like a PC with Windows Mobile platform and therefore you could e-mail any of the attachments you needed, however with the latest opinion of O2 you might rethink going with them, however if you're a new customer they might treat you differently.

I think you have to look at the round trip of what you are doing. Where are you getting these PDF's/Docs. If there are on a laptop, is it not easier just to send from that? Because its a real pain putting them on a mobile to send on, as it going to be slow and expensive and eat you're data minutes.

I guess what I'm asking, is where are they comming from? Do you create, edit them on your phone? Why are they on your phone?
 
What i would like to do is create an email and attach a few standard documents when i am at my pc and send it onto myself. Then when i am out of the office, i would like to be able to forward this email (with attachments) onto clients as and when i need to.
 
It would more elegant to have and webmail access to your office email and then just connect to via the phone (or anything) over the web. Or at least email them to a different account that does have webmail access. Emailing documents to your phone is just using up data for no good reason.
 
I use a Nokia N95 on which I would have an IMAP mail connection to a webmail account.

Using a 9.99 per month data package from Vodafone I can auto retrieve incoming mail and send attachments as OP has sought.

The attachments can either be forwarded to the device by sending an email to the webmail account or uploaded by USB. Docs stored in the phone memory can be easily picked up and sent, the config of the messaging for email is fairly straighforward.

Any N series or E series Nokia phone can do this. You are only limited by the data storage capacity of the device.
 
Im not sure what a webmail account is, but can i just connect to my emails in my hotmail account?

You can do it, but its a wasteful use of your data package. You'd use a fraction of the data by using webmail.

By using the webmail you have to manually connect each time. I find it useful for the sake of 9.99 a month I can auto retrieve new emails every x minutes (in my case 15). The other data option is the 99cent per day which would work out more if you use data every day.
 
I assume every data packaage has a cap. Downloading attachments then uploading them is going to be slower and use more data than just connecting to webmail. Unless the attachments are miniscule. Which PDF and Doc aren't.

On the other hand if you prefer downloading the attachments, then uploading them, because it an easier process for you, and you happy taking the hit with speed and cost, or its not an issue. Then I guess go for it.
