PCS Vision offers seven services to customers--games, messaging, PCS Business Connection, pictures, ringers, screen savers and Web connectivity. The color Web browsing and picture features are getting the most airtime on Sprint's TV ads, but the PCS Business Connection service will interest business customers, as it provides Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes and IMAP/POP mail users with real-time access to their inboxes, and Exchange and Notes users with access to the corporate directory, personal contacts, calendar items and tasks.
PCS Business Connection comes in two flavors--enterprise and personal. The enterprise edition is an outsourced solution that can be managed by one of your own IT administrators. Sprint's server connects to your Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange server on behalf of the users you've subscribed and delivers new mail directly to their PCS devices any time they're on the PCS network. Your users can read mail, reply to senders and delete messages all from the comfort of their own phones. Also, you never have to deal with the mail twice--the changes you make to the inbox on your phone are reflected directly on your Notes or Exchange inbox.

I tested the PCS Business Connection Personal Edition against my corporate IMAP-based mail system and found the service quite useful, aside from some glitches that Sprint assures me have been patched. Setup is simple: Install the PCS Business Connection application on your desktop at work. That application connects to your mail server and forwards new mail to Sprint's network on your behalf.
