For only 15 EUR ($ USD) a month, users will get unlimited data use when combined with any of T-Mobile's voice plans. And as a special offer, the monthly data charge will be waived for the month of June for new T-Mobile Sidekick II customers.
"The T-Mobile Sidekick II's ease-of-use and complete set of voice and data applications have made it the featured product in our 'Internet in your pocket' initiative," said Michael Schuld, Vice President Terminal Management T-Mobile Germany. "We are very excited to expand the success of the T-Mobile Sidekick II in Germany."
Danger's hiptop wireless solution is the software and services infrastructure that powers the T-Mobile Sidekick II and delivers a superior mobile Internet experience to end users. This thin client/server system manages the secure transmission of data between the network and the device, speeds Web-page downloads, opens files in email automatically, and delivers a set of tightly coupled applications that operate simultaneously. Features include a mobile phone, push email, instant messaging, HTML Web browser, text-messaging, calendar, address book, an integrated digital camera and a catalog with downloadable applications and content. In addition, each user receives access to a Web-based, online account to manage all of his or her data from a desktop computer.
"Danger's popular mobile Internet experience, combined with T-Mobile Germany's excellent network, customer care and marketing might is an ideal match," said Hank Nothhaft, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Danger. "And with T-Mobile Germany's simple and affordable pricing options, this will be a compelling offering to German consumers."
