Hello All & Happy Wednesday!
Coldwell Banker has been promoting recently that you can now get a mobile version of the www.ColdwellBanker.com site on your iPhone and BlackBerry. I LOVE THIS!!!
However, I wish they would mention that you can also get this on ANY internet-enabled phone ... say for example the Palm Centro that Coldwell Banker gave away at their International Business Conference last year.
To access the mobile version on your device that is not an iPhone or BlackBerry ... simply pop onto the internet and type "m.coldwellbanker.com". Search for properties, open houses and agents right from your phone!
So what is a mobile version? Simply stated, it is a scaled down version of the main site, in this case, the corporate Coldwell Banker site. A mobile version of a website is made for the smaller screens on our devices, they will not have all of the functionality of the main site, but you will have access to some of the major features. Most of the time, if you type in the original www site url you will be redirected to the mobile version, but this is not always the case.
Many of your favorite websites have mobile versions of their own sites, for example:
www.cnn.com >>> m.cnn.com
www.npr.org >>> m.npr.org
Some will have "wap.sitename.com" instead of the "m". WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol - yet another open source platform (you know how I love open source anything)!
So ... even though CB is saying iPhones and BlackBerry's - we know - we all have access to the new mobile version of coldwellbanker.com as long as we can get online on our phones!
GO PHILS!!!
