The BlackBerry, iconic symbol for corporate America (and anyone else fancying themselves important enough to get push-email), has taken another step in erasing the line between work and not-work. RIM’s introduction of its Mobile Voice System marks the end of the “I’m out of the office” excuse – as “the seamless convergence of a BlackBerry smartphone with an office desk phone.” The MVS system promises to give the BlackBerry user full access to corporate-phone functions – like call transfer, voicemail, extension dialing, call logging, and corporate caller ID. A “Reach Me Anywhere” number will ring-through to both the desk-phone and BlackBerry, keeping a tight grip on that corporate leash.
Will a massive outage of RIM’s servers take down corporate phone systems across the globe? We hope not.
