Verizon Wireless to Host PDA and Smartphone Workshop at Suffolk County
Communications Stores
"20 Things a PDA Can Do For You" Teaches Customers Productive New Wireless
Applications; Workshops Offered in Suffolk on August 5, 14 and 21

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Ask anyone what they need more
of and the answer will most likely be 'time.' It's our most valuable
commodity and why so many consumers are turning to Smartphones and PDAs to
help manage it. Wireless customers who apply business principles to manage
their personal lives can save time, be more productive and, ultimately, carry
a lighter load at work and at home.
Now, for the first time, consumers who don't have access to an IT
department or a help desk, can turn to Verizon Wireless for help in learning
how to maximize all the capabilities new wireless devices have to offer. The
company is offering free PDA and Smartphone workshops at Verizon Wireless
Communications Stores throughout the New York Metro area to help customers
learn how to make these devices work for them. Each class, aptly named "20
Things a PDA Can Do For You," will focus on a particular product and service
so customers can get in-depth information, quickly.
Three workshops will be offered at Verizon Wireless Communications Stores
in Suffolk County this month:
-- 350 Walt Whitman Road, Huntington Station: Tuesday, August 5, noon to 3
p.m. To register call: 631-351-2172.
-- 2044 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton Commons: Thursday, August 14, 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. To register call: 631-537-2398.
-- 4000 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport: Thursday, August 21, 11 a.m. to
2 p.m. To register call: 631-499-1820.
Ideal for everyone from the small business owner to the soccer mom,
customers will receive free hands-on tutorials from local Verizon Wireless
data experts.
"The traditional business tool has become a life management tool," said
Pat Devlin, president of the company's New York/ New Jersey Metro Region.
"These wireless devices are packed with rich, multimedia capabilities and
services, allowing customers to stay connected to work, family and friends
while on-the-go. Participants will receive uninterrupted hands-on instruction
that will enable them to maximize our wireless products and services to meet
their everyday communications needs."
The class is expected to fill up quickly and seating is limited. This
workshop will cover Palm products, such as the new Centro. Topics covered
will include text messaging, music synchronization, email management and
Internet browsing.
