As Nextel indicates, with their Multimedia Messaging, you can take a picture, add text, or even a voice note, and then send it to an email address or another Nextel phone that is Multimedia Messaging-enabled.
This all-in-one capability enables you to capture unexpected moments and share them instantly with family and friends anytime or virtually anywhere.
Nextel says that their Multimedia Messaging is a great productivity tool. You can exchange images and audio memos with co-workers and customers and get immediate feedback. Business applications might be:
Real Estate: send pictures and property descriptions to buyers as soon as they hit the market.
