T-Mobile UK Launches Mobile Phone GPS Navigation With TeleNav

T-Mobile UK says that it is to start selling the TeleNav GPS Navigator, a GPS "satnav system" for mobile phones. Developed by TeleNav, the service is immediately available on a variety of BlackBerry smartphones on T-Mobile and includes GPS-enabled, turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving directions, addresses and directions to business and community locations, as well as full-colour, 3D moving maps.

"We are delighted to be the first operator to offer this solution to our Blackberry users. GPS navigation is becoming more popular each year and, through TeleNav, we can offer T-Mobile customers a service that is even better than traditional navigation devices," said Daniel Meredith, head of Handset and Device Marketing, T-Mobile UK.

"There is no reason that anyone needs to invest in an expensive, in-car navigation system or a separate navigation device anymore," said Ian Tredgett, business director for TeleNav's European operations. "TeleNav GPS Navigator offers T-Mobile customers the same peace of mind and even more features. We developed our solution to exceed customer expectations, and we look forward to delighting T-Mobile customers with our commitment to service and satisfaction."
