Coldwell Banker on the sprint palm smartphones


Coldwell Banker International Business Conference in Orlando, Florida. Real estate agents armed with Sprint Palm® CentroTM smartphones learned how to stay connected to the resources, information, and people they need at every stage of the deal, thanks to Palm, Inc.

According to Palm's Craig Tellalian, strategic account manager at Palm, is demonstrating how real estate professionals can:

Use the Palm Centro to gain a competitive edge, attract clients, gain listings and speed valuable closings;
Stay mobile with wireless access to email (corporate and personal), the Web, contacts, calendar and phone functionality;
Utilize Centro's latest productivity enhancing real estate applications like GE Supra eKey, which allows agents to open and program their own iBoxesTM and Mortgage Calc, which allows agents to calculate complex mortgage payments, including mortgage insurance, estimated property tax and home insurance.
Tellalian is speaking on two sessions at the conference:

In the Advanced Session, agents will learn how to stay connected to the resources, information and people they need at every stage of the deal with the Sprint Palm Centro smartphone. They will be shown how to enhance the Centro to gain a competitive edge, attract clients, gain listings, and speed valuable closings.

I think it's pretty cool that the Centro can be used as such an important tool by real estate agents. If I was a real estate agent, I'd be happy to use my Palm smartphone as a helpful tool.
