Sprint Nextel has relied on Handmark for a variety of mobile content solutions over the past five years.
In June 2008, Handmark played an integral role in the successful launch of the Samsung Instinct, developing one-of-a-kind mobile Internet widgets for the device. The Pocket Express-powered widgets make it easy for Instinct customers to access essential information such as news, sports, weather, and movies. This development was essential in meeting the customer need to access deep content quickly, within a single click.
Pocket Express has been recognized as one of the best features on the Instinct by many industry insiders, especially as it relates to easy discoverability and customization- leading to increased data consumption. Currently, Instinct customers find equal value in accessing both Web services and the Pocket Express services provided.
Together, Sprint and Handmark continue to innovate in the wireless industry. Pocket Express continues to be an essential feature on Sprint devices, with preloads on all Sprint smartphones, including the recently launched BlackBerry Curve and Treo 800w.
