14 DAY TRIAL // Sprint Nextel has just launched a local cell phone directory service to find nearby resources such as restaurants, driving directions, and movie times.
The $2.99 a month service, called "Find It!", combines GPS and directory information from InfoSpace to let users search out locations without having to enter a zip code or know where they are. The J2Me application is available on a range of Sprint Nextel phones. Customers pinpoint their location through automated GPS or location systems, with preset entries such as zip code, address or intersection.
The service includes: Local Quick Clicks - Find local business listings and locations with maps and driving directions with a minimal click, One-Stop Searching - A single search location for Yellow Pages, White Pages, Maps, Directions, Movie Listings and more, Find People by Name or Number - Search using only first and last name, or by entering a phone number to find out to whom it belongs, What's Nearby - Access details on what's close with one click on the phone, even if the caller doesn't know exactly where they are, Click to Connect - Make phone calls with one click instead of dialing the entire number.
