With Ogo, parents no longer have to contend with those endlessly long IM sessions of teenagers and twenty-somethings

Redmond, WA (PRWEB) September 28, 2004

AT&T Wireless

(NYSE: AWE), AT&T Wireless introduces the OGO (TM)

    All of those messages typically confined to the desktop are about to be unleashed with Ogo(TM) — a radically new, hip, and affordable mobile messaging device for the masses, particularly teens and young adults. Introduced today and available exclusively from AT&T Wireless (NYSE: AWE), Ogo is the first and only wireless messaging device to provide unlimited instant messaging (IM) and email from all three leading providers — AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! — plus text messaging, all in a sleek, simple-to-use device.

    At an affordable device price of (after mail-in rebate) with unlimited messaging plans starting at only .99 per month, Ogo provides

customers with a wireless messaging device priced for the typical consumer. Ogo-ers will be able to experience instant messaging and email services in a

dramatically different way than most Americans do today. Ogo gives customers the freedom to stay connected to their online communities while on-the-go.

    Ogo’s design requirements and all other elements of its service experience were created and directed by AT&T Wireless. While designed specifically for

multiple messaging applications, the company expects instant messaging users to be among Ogo’s earliest adopters, since the device offers a near desktop-

like IM experience. According to figures released by the Pew Internet and Life Project earlier this month, there are currently more than 53 million IM

users in the US today, and 24% of them send more instant messages than email messages.

    ”With Ogo, we are creating an entirely new category and the next ‘must have’ device in the consumer electronics space,” said Andre Dahan, president of

AT&T Wireless Mobile Multimedia Services. “Unlike many of today’s disappointing multi-purpose wireless devices, we created Ogo to do one thing

– mobile messaging — extraordinarily well. Ogo doesn’t pretend to be ‘all things to all people,’ and is not bogged down by hardly-used features or an

out-of-reach price tag. Instead, Ogo offers the most desirable mobile applications, on a smartly-designed device that most people can afford.”

    Designed to appeal to the youth market and consumers of all ages, AT&T Wireless believes that Ogo may benefit millions of parents who simply want to

reclaim their home computers. “With Ogo, parents no longer have to contend with those endlessly long IM sessions of teenagers and twenty-somethings,”

Dahan continued. “And, today’s youth no longer have to choose between ‘logging-on’ or ‘heading-out’ since Ogo lets them do both at the same time.”

    In addition to its messaging applications and low price, Ogo’s appealing design and patent-pending technology offers a variety of features to make

mobile messaging fun and easy. Ogo’s unique clamshell case opens to reveal a large, color screen and full keypad with “hot keys” to all major messaging

functions. With the click of a button, Ogo-ers can read mail, compose messages, access IM contact lists, insert emoticons, and view all open

messages at a glance. In addition, customers can get themselves up and running on Ogo by simply turning it on and following the on-screen activation

wizard — bypassing the hassle of an in-store activation process.

    OGO KEY FEATURES & HIGHLIGHTS

    Ogo is packed with features, including:

     — “Clamshell” design unfolds to display large, color screen and

         keypad;

     — Full QWERTY keypad and 8-way navigation joystick pad;

     — Compact size and weight: 11.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 2.5 cm (closed) and

         4.8 ounces;

     — Special “hot keys” for simple navigation — including a special

         “emoticon” button for inserting emoticons into IM chats and an “Ogo”

         button to view all active messages and chats on one screen for easy

         multitasking;

     — Instant messaging on all three leading providers — enables users to

         view and conduct unlimited chat sessions with buddies on Yahoo!,

         MSN, and AOL instant messaging services;

     — E-mail on all three leading providers — send and receive unlimited

         email from Yahoo!, MSN and AOL accounts;

     — Text messaging or SMS (Short Message Service) — send and receive

         unlimited text domestic messages to and from standard wireless

         phones;

     — Consolidated inbox — view all e-mail and text messages in a

         consolidated mailbox or sort by individual account;

     — Special animated features — Assign unique sounds and visual

         animations to different IM friends/contacts so users hear a

         different sound when each IM contact comes on-line or sends a

         message;

     — Access to e-mail from other select Internet Service Providers and

         POP3 accounts at no additional charge;

     — No annual service contract — automatic credit card payment for new

         activations;

     — “Grab-n-Go” self-activation — on-device activation wizard gets

         users up and running themselves.

    ON-BOARD WITH OGO

    In bringing Ogo to market, AT&T Wireless teamed with a number of world-class technology companies — from the major desktop email/IM service providers to custom application developers and manufacturers. AT&T Wireless said the combined expertise and services of these companies enables Ogo to provide a complete messaging solution for today’s mobile consumers and a truly unique hardware and software platform for the future.

    ”The Ogo is uniquely designed and ideally priced for the generation that has literally grown up on instant messaging and sees email as their primary mode of written communication,” said Himesh Bhise, vice president and general manager, AOL Mobile, America Online, Inc. “We are very pleased to have worked with AT&T Wireless to offer our members and users such a convenient and flexible extension of the AOL(R) Mail and AOL(R) Instant Messenger(TM)

(AIM(R)) services.”

    ”MSN’s goal is to bring our customers closer to the people and information that matter most to them. We’re thrilled to work with AT&T Wireless to help make this connection real for our customers, even while on the go,” said Brian Arbogast, corporate vice president for the MSN Communications Platform at Microsoft Corp. “Whether it’s checking their Hotmail or keeping in touch via MSN Messenger, with Ogo, MSN customers will have their families and friends right at their fingertips.”

    ”Yahoo!’s services are essential to the lives of millions of people, and AT&T Wireless’ new Ogo gives us another way to be there for our customers when they are on the move,” said Doug Garland, senior vice president, broadband and mobile services, Yahoo! Inc. “We are excited to give our loyal consumers a new, easy way to access our leading Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Messenger services on the latest mobile device. Ogo is really designed to appeal to young consumers who have grown up using both the desktop and mobile messaging.”

    After developing the idea for Ogo internally at AT&T Wireless, the company selected IXI Mobile Inc., http://www.ixi.com, to manage overall development and delivery of Ogo’s software and hardware based on their PMG(R) (Personal Mobile Gateway) technology. In addition, custom middleware software from OZ,

http://www.oz.com, enables device interoperability between Ogo and the major email and instant messaging service platforms.

    Ogo is available nationally for just (after mail-in rebate) at AT&T Wireless stores and via the web at attwireless.com. Monthly services plans start at .99 per month and include access to one premium email/IM provider (AOL, MSN, or Yahoo!) and unlimited incoming and outgoing messages. Access to additional premium email/IM accounts costs each, per month. All plans include unlimited domestic text messaging. In addition,

existing AT&T Wireless customers on postpaid GSM(TM) accounts can receive a special per month discount when they add Ogo to their current AT&T Wireless

future events made by management with information that is currently available to management. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation,

management’s expectations regarding: our future financial and operating performance and financial condition, including the company’s outlook for the

distribution channels, the potential competitive impacts of industry consolidation or alternative technologies, potential impacts on revenue and
