RIM seem to be really on the ball with the Sept/Oct release of the BlackBerry Connection Newsletter, its just fall of articles and seems to be more than usual. As part of this newsletter there is a two part topic with regards to the Mobile Voice System that although has been out for a while or at least had some buzz around the topic in those regions where this has had a low key footprint. The two part’s to this topic cover the solution fairly well helping you to understand what it offers, not to mention an online demo.
