Teliasonera, the largest telecommunications company and mobile network operator in the Nordic region, announced a couple of days ago a Microsoft software and Smartphone based offer. The Smartphone 2002 (HTC Tanager) is called Qtek 7070 and Teliasonera offers wireless Microsoft Exchange connectivity to its customers.
It was interesting to note that Teliasonera reported that they have had the phone and services in live testing during the last three months and that 97% of the customers report that the Smartphone 2002 and the combined services would "be a strong asset in their business. E-mail, calendar and contacts are the most sought-after functions". According to the Teliasonera spokesman, the test group generated 5 MB of data traffic per person and month and this amount of data will be priced at approximately $9 per month. The phone will be available in June and will cost $249 with a 24 month subscription.
