Verizon to hold PDA and Smartphone workshop

Ask anyone what they need more of and the answer will most likely be “time.” It is 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 answer customers’ questions about their particular products and services so they can get in-depth information on what matters most to them, easily and quickly.
The workshops will be offered at the following Verizon Wireless Communications Stores in Queens this month:
Astoria - 31-25 Steinway Street: Thursday, September 4 and 18, 4 to 7 p.m. To register call 718-956-3900.
Bayside - 23-70 Bell Boulevard in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center. Monday, September 8, from 2 to 6 p.m. and Thursday, September 18, from 2 to 6 p.m. To register call 718-281-0920.
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. All that’s required is advance registration.
“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 classes are expected to fill up quickly and seating is limited. Topics covered will include text messaging, how to synchronize your address book; how to use Bluetooth and other accessories; music synchronization, email management and Internet browsing.
