Loved by business travelers worldwide for it's functionality and ease of use, WorldMate announced the addition of hotel booking functionality to its WorldMate Live Service this week:

WorldMate has partnered with hotels.com, an Expedia, Inc. company, to enable people to book travel quickly and securely on their mobile phones without requiring a phone call.

And now, WorldMate Live can proactively recommend - and directly book - hotel rooms, even at the last minute. The process is simple: Members searching for a hotel receive recommendations that factor in proximity to meeting locations on their itinerary, as part of WorldMate Live's propriety algorithm used to rank and list the best hotel options. Members can also view their entire agenda on a map together with any hotel option to make an informed decision. The service is free and initially available to all BlackBerry users.
