3 UK announces that it has been shortlisted by the GSM Association for its Window's Live Messenger service.

ESATO NEWS

The mobile media company has been recognised as a finalist in the Best Mobile Messaging Service category for the free mobile IM application that it launched in August 2006.

The GSM Awards are globally recognised as one of the most prestigious sources of independent verification for the mobile industry so to be shortlisted for an award is a true mark of excellence. The panel is made up of independent judges comprising leading industry and subject matter experts, analysts, journalists and academics.

3's Window's Live Messenger application is free to customers in the UK and the service is the first open access version of Windows Live Messenger on a mobile, allowing 3 customers to see the "presence" of their Messenger contacts and exchange messages from their phone. 3's mobile broadband offering provides customers with an identical Windows Live Messenger experience to the one they are used to on their PC. Since launch there have been 350,000 downloads with an average of over 1.8 million messages sent or received every day.

Graeme Oxby, Marketing Director, 3UK, said "The GSM Awards are recognised globally as the industry-wide as the Awards to win, so just to be shortlisted for our Messenger application is a great achievement. As the first operator to take the step of offering mobile IM for free to its customers, we are pleased to have received the stamp of approval by such a well-respected association. 3 is constantly striving to bring popular internet services to mobile users." www.three.co.uk

gee, that'd be like rewarding Guantanamo Bay for being an equal opportunity employer!
Sorry, I just don't "get" 3 but then, I live in Ire-"land" and things are hard to understand here... Ooops!!!
thanks for letting me know anyway!

(and of course the application's been downloaded that often - they can't download much else, can they - it's like some communist block leader in former east Germany praising the comrades for "chosin" Trabant cars over, oh, BMWs because they know quality when it bites them in the ass...god, PR-people... There's a well-balanced lion diet)
