Bt has launched its own smartphone solution for consumers, designed to act as an extension of its broadband service. The new service, called BT Total Broadband Anywhere, is aimed at Total Broadband customers who are keen to access their email accounts and the Internet away from home, and is in direct competition with established players in the market, such as BlackBerry. John Petter, BT's managing director, consumer, said: "Communications services are converging and it is clear that customers want convenient access to the things that matter not only at home, but in the palm of their hands wherever they are." The smartphone handsets are manufactured by HTC, which makes similar equipment for other mobile operators. BT's initial offering comprises two models: the HTC S620, which is a familiar wide, flat PDA-style handset, and the HTC S710, which is the size of a standard mobile phone and features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
