HTC launches hosted email solution

HTC has announced the launch of HTCmail, a fully hosted, secure, and managed email service based on Microsoft Hosted Exchange.

HTCmail will bring the benefits of always-connected business to mobile professionals. The HTC offering provides seamless and real-time access to up to five different email accounts, either personal or work mailboxes, aggregated and instantly delivered to a mobile device through Outlook 2007. Features include email, contacts and calendar, enabling users to easily access information and communications while on the go. HTCmail is compatible with all HTC devices, and will be rolling out across selected European markets from September 2007.

"Today's launches - both HTC TyTN II and HTCmail - are all about fast, easy access on the move to the kind of features and connectivity previously reserved for the PC world,"said Florian Seiche, Vice President of HTC Europe. "This proposition is a perfect match for both mobile professionals and advanced mobile consumers on the go who can now benefit from the powerful feature set that the HTC TyTN II offers and the true high-speed mobile access that many of our leading operator partners are offering."

"Combining a broad range of Windows Mobile-powered devices from HTC with a rich messaging experience delivered through Microsoft Hosted Exchange is ideal for mobile professionals who demand enterprise-class communication services with cutting-edge design," said Michael O'Hara, general manager, Communications Sector at Microsoft. "With HTCmail, small to medium enterprises can benefit from anywhere access to information without the expense or ongoing commitment of on-premise software and IT skills."
