H TC, the world's leading provider of Microsoft Windows Mobile powered devices, launched three smart phones from its Q1 2007 product portfolio at the 3GSM World Congress Conference and Exhibition.

The most powerful mobile office to date, the HTC Advantage is smarter and lighter than the smallest PC notebook. It supports Microsoft Outlook Mobile for quick access to email, calendar, task and contact functions. It is also the first device to feature HTC's VueFLO easy navigation technology and detachable keyboard. A first for business functionality with high-speed global connectivity (Tri-Band 3G/ 3.5G (HSDPA) and Quad-Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE), the HTC Advantage is packed with PC-style power, functionality and multimedia features. The HTC Advantage will first be available through T-Mobile (as the T-Mobile 'Ameo') in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Austria and Poland starting in March 2007, with HTC versions being released simultaneously in selected countries.

We highly value the strong partnership between HTC and T-Mobile, delivering highly innovative and differentiated devices for our customers. We expect the Ameo to be one of our hero products in Europe over the coming year as it offers the ultimate in portable connectivity, functionality and convenience for today's modern traveller," said Michael Hagspihl, Executive Vice President Terminal Management of T-Mobile International.

We are starting the year with an enviable line-up of innovative devices, not only offering the best in terms of functionality, but also in design. This really sets them apart in a market where users are increasingly demanding brains over plain aesthetics."

 

Windows Mobile
