HTCmail launching in September: hosted Exchange from HTC

HtclogoIf I learned one thing from covering the Nokia press event yesterday it’s this: the move to offer services is starting to permeate into traditional hardware-only companies. The new Nokia phones weren’t the story yesterday: the gaming and music services under the Ovi branding were big news. With that in mind, take a look at the latest HTC press release that covers the TyTn II. Tucked in there is mention of HTCmail, eye-spied by Mobility Site.

HTCmail kicks off next month in France and the U.K. as an HTC-branded Microsoft Exchange Service. Here’s the skinny:

  • Business-critical information is always backed-up, up to date and protected
  • Users can sign up and manage their account online at [enter final URL], and have the added support of a 24-hour customer service centre
  • 2GB Mail Storage
  • 20MB mail send size limit
  • Anti-virus and anti-spam capabilities
  • Variety of subscriptions packages, 3, 6 or 12 months
  • Compatible with all Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 devices
  • 2 month no obligation trial

No pricing yet, but I’d like to see a discount if you purchase an HTC phone. Not that they need that kind of incentive since they’re coming out with a bunch of great devices, but still….
