Will Irving, Group Managing Director, Telstra Business said HTC Titan 4G was the first business-geared 4G smartphone to launch in Australia. Australian small businesses have embraced smartphones to help them work where they want and to stay responsive to customers and new business opportunities. The launch of the nation s first 4G Windows Phone means small businesses can perform even more advanced tasks from the palms of their hands like handling larger emails on the go, capturing and sending high-resolution images and video and accessing emerging cloud-hosted services direct from their smartphone screen. Best of all, Windows Phone is incredibly easy to navigate and immediately familiar to anyone who uses Microsoft s popular Office software, Mr Irving said. We were the first company to launch Australia s first 4G smartphone - the HTC Velocity 4G - and we are very proud to have chalked up another first by introducing Australia s first 4G-enabled Windows Phone, the HTC Titan 4G, said Ben Hodgson, Country Manager, HTC Australia and New Zealand. We have already seen how 4G speeds improve the smartphone experience and when you include the benefits of an easy user interface, a 16 megapixel camera and all the great Microsoft applications, you have a really compelling smartphone." Megan Howard, Windows Phone Lead, Microsoft Australia commented on the launch: We are thrilled to have the HTC Titan 4G added to the Windows Phone portfolio adding more speed and power to the platform s capabilities. Microsoft is dedicated to providing consumers with choice and variety when it comes to their phone options and the platform s first 4G capable handset is key to that offering. Microsoft also has the fastest growing app marketplace in the country with more than 80,000 apps ranging across productivity with Lync, Skype and SkyDrive, practical apps like Go Catch and Pizza Hut and fun with Xbox LIVE, Megan said. The HTC Titan 4G enhances connectivity, efficiency and productivity for busy people, with its large on-screen keyboard and built-in Microsoft® Office Mobile software. Customers can use mobile email with Exchange ActiveSync to view work emails by conversation and to view all, unread, flagged, or urgent messages. In addition they can search for emails that aren't stored on their phone but are available on their email server. Owners can also access, change, and share Office documents and notes easier and faster when in 4G coverage areas. The built-in Office Hub brings together Office documents and notes in one convenient place. (c) 2012 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
