First mobile with full BlackBerry functionality - New CEO of merged wireline and wireless group outlines trend toward convergence across all platforms
The mobile communication group at Siemens today revealed its intensified focus on the high-end mobile phone market. The launch of the new SK65, the first mobile phone with full BlackBerry functionality, will play a key role in this connection. It unites intuitive e-mail access, up until now enjoyed only on PCs, with classical mobile communication. Lothar Pauly, CEO of the new Communications Group, which will begin operating on October 1, explained how the new wireline/wireless communication unit is poised to benefit substantially from this new trend of convergence between what have up until now been separate network and access technologies.
