BlackBerry users can now purchase an infrared eKey fob (pictured).  This is a bluetooth device that connects to the BlackBerry similar to a headset and is small enough to connect to your key chain.  Once you enter your PIN to open a lock box, the keyfob translates the signal from the BlackBerry to infrared in order to open the lock box.

There are two types of eKey service designed for the BlackBerry.  The first is eKey Basic, which is available now.  This allows you retrieve keys for iBoxes, program iBox access hours, beam data to iBoxes (showing notes, listing highlights, and business card information), change shackle codes, and track KeyBox inventory.

eKey Professional will be available sometime in March of 2009 and will include all of the features of eKey Basic.  It will also include eDATA Mobile which allows realtors access to listing information while on the go.  eDATA allows searching of MLS listings that can be viewed on Google Maps.  It also shows updated contact information for other agents and gives you the ability to receive real-time showing notifications.
