Kempler & Strauss(TM), a world-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative mobile devices and wireless technology products, today announced the launch of Billionair 6, the first GSM quad-band 3G phone based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile Platform that provides both a touchscreen interface and trackball for fast, easy, intuitive control. The new Billionair 6 is making its debut this week at International CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2009, October 7-9, 2009, at the San Diego Convention Center, booth #934.
The Billionair 6 is an advanced mobile communication device that incorporates a powerful 624 Mhz CPU to deliver best-in-class performance and functionality to support application multi-tasking. Integrated 802.11g WiFi provides high-speed connectivity to wireless LANs for Internet surfing, instant messaging and Skype calls, and Bluetooth support ensures compatibility with Bluetooth v2.0 compliant in-vehicle and third-party headsets. Billionair 6 is optimized for use with the Kempler & Strauss Communicator, an innovative Bluetooth-enabled headset that enables users to receive phone calls and play stored MP3 files from distances up to 16 feet.
The feature-rich Billionair 6, which features a 3.2 megapixel camera for image and video capture, incorporates a backlit trackball and powerful slidetouch interface that enables users to surf through multiple screens simultaneously by simply sliding the fingertip over the screen. Using the trackball, users can quickly roll through carousels to browse through multiple applications or address book contacts.
Equipped with GPS and an accelerometer which automatically flips the display orientation based upon the position of the phone, the full-featured Billionair 6 enhances productivity for mobile users with applications which include Microsoft Office Mobile (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook). Billionair 6 interfaces with the PC using ActiveSync to synchronize e-mail folders, calendars and to-do lists and enables users to wirelessly synchronize their Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail, or Outlook e-mail accounts simultaneously.
