On January 5, there was a post about Target’s “incoming deals.” In Sunday’s paper, there was another full page ad with the Motorola W755 from Verizon Wireless highlighted as FREE.

The good news for anyone buying this feature phone is that RemoSync, the cost-effective alternative to using smartphones such as Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, Apple’s iPhone, or a Windows Mobile device to stay connected with a company’s Exchange Server, is available.

And, the W755 is now running Version 3.0 of RemoSync so users have access to the Attachment Viewer which works with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as PDF and text files. It lets users view document images via several modes (page-by-page, or “Read in Text”). This version also has a powerful task management feature that allows users to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, track status and priority, and modify tasks (add, edit and delete).
