T-Mobile rings in the New Year in the role of innovation driver for the mobile telephony sector by launching an all-new PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

T-Mobile's Ameo is creating a new category in the mobile device market, uniting today's computer functions, mobile broadband transmission technology and telephone functions in an attractively designed exterior. Thanks to its innovative concept the Ameo can be used with or without its QWERTY keyboard. Connected at the side to the keyboard's magnetic strip, it can be easily attached. Whichever option is preferred, its large-format color display, powerful processor, spacious hard disk, array of interfaces, long battery life and many other features all add up to a stylishly indispensable device.

Ameo, designed and manufactured by HTC, supplies mobile access to almost all applications, information and connections commonly needed. Including not only HSDPA/UMTS and EDGE/GPRS but also W-LAN, it offers users the fastest available mobile transmission wherever they are, via T-Mobile's mobile telephony network.

Significantly smaller and lighter than a mini-laptop, the Ameo is scarcely larger than PDA phone models such as the MDA Vario II. The Intel Bulverde 624 MHz processor and generous RAM for applications and data enable multiple programs to be used in parallel without compromising on speed.

The 8GB hard drive is roomy enough for plenty of information, and the built-in "G Sensor" "saves" data if the device is dropped accidentally and can be used for internet navigation instead of scrolling touchscreen. Users can run presentations directly via the projector and TV outputs. The 3-megapixel auto focus camera with flash delivers high-quality photos and film. And the Ameo also features integrated GPS module, transforming it into a sat-nav system when used with the appropriate software such as T-Mobile NaviGate. When work is over, the Ameo comes into its own as an entertainment center, with integrated media player and stereo speakers for playing your favorite MP3s and more.

The Ameo is available from March 2007 at EUR 499,95 with 24-month contract in Relax 100 tariff.
