HTML format with live links to Web and Microsoft Office SharePoint
sites, which means text and images are displayed as they would be on a

people that want to do more while on the go,” said Scott Horn, general
manager, Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft. “The AT&T Tilt

and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe
all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that
confidential information remains that way. AT&T has the broadest
portfolio of Windows Mobile devices of any U.S. carrier.
Email Options

first Windows Mobile device in North America to include BlackBerry® Connect™ v4.0 software, which provides BlackBerry®
email service, security and device management for IT administrators and
the benefit for users of wireless synchronization of email, calendar,

Unique Force
The Johnson City Police
Department, located in Johnson City, Tenn., has been using AT&T
smart devices for two years and plans to be one of the first
organizations to implement the AT&T Tilt later this year. With
AT&T smart devices, Johnson City’s 148 officers can verify
identification, search criminal databases, issue citations and submit
reports from the palms of their hands. Since implementing the smart
devices, arrests for criminal activities and revoked drivers licenses
in Johnson City have increased and the time saved handling and
processing incidents is equivalent to having five additional officers
on staff, according to the police department.
“The AT&T Tilt provides a new level of wireless field support,”
said Sgt. John Hames, Johnson City Police Department. “The embedded GPS
will help us track officers’ whereabouts, identify the fastest route to
incidents and download mapping data for onsite traffic reports.
AT&T Tilt’s angled screen and high-resolution camera are attractive
for people taking and reviewing images in the field and Windows Mobile
6 Professional will allow the department to more efficiently perform
office applications on the mobile handset.”
