Network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing services supplier Comverse (News - Alert) announced that Samsung Electronics, a leading mobile phone supplier, has selected Comverse Mobile Instant Messaging (Mobile IM) client software to be embedded in a new handset targeted for the North American market.

 

Introduced by Samsung (News - Alert) in early 2007, the new handset, Samsung SCH-u340, was already launched for a mass market target audience.

By embedding the Comverse Mobile IM client, Samsung fulfills operators’ requirements to support the growing demand for mobile instant messaging. Comverse’s handset solutions offer a convenient user interface and expanded functionality that both draw from the company’s extensive messaging expertise. Comverse Mobile IM handset software provides user access to several leading portals, and offers operators innovative branding opportunities.

“Combining our extensive know-how in handset software design with a device from Samsung, one of the world’s top handset vendors, ensures a superior and appealing user experience that can drive revenues and usage,” said Benny Einhorn, chief marketing officer for Comverse, in a statement. “Handset manufacturers derive much benefit from Comverse’s broad offering of proven messaging and content clients, which support advanced applications from IM and mobile email to video messaging, mobile avatars and more on all leading mobile operating systems.”
