BOSTON (Reuters) - Zee Tawasha is an unabashed Blackberry addict, constantly sending urgent e-mails to employees at 30 mobile phone stores he owns across California, Arizona and Nevada.

Until recently, he used his fingers to painstakingly type out messages on the wireless device's cramped keyboard.

But with a new service launched by his network provider Sprint Nextel Corp. on Friday, Tawasha can press a button and say the recipient's name and dictate a message of up to 20 words into his Blackberry's receiver.

Within about a minute, the full message appears on the screen and he can send it off with one keystroke.
