Danger and Microcell Solutions sign agreement to deliver popular wireless data

Danger, Inc. and Microcell Solutions Inc. today announced an exclusive agreement to bring Canadian consumers innovative wireless products based on Danger's hiptop® Wireless Solution and Microcell's Fido® brand and national GSM/GPRS network. Microcell will be the first and exclusive carrier in Canada to offer Danger's hiptop device to consumers, and the third in North America to do so (following T-Mobile USA and Triton PCS).

Danger and Microcell plan to bring the hiptop mobile device to market in the fall 2003 timeframe. The product will be a wireless all-in-one device that combines a fully featured mobile phone with a variety of data communication applications, including an HTML Web browser, embedded email account, instant messaging, personal information management features, games and optional camera attachment.

"Microcell is committed to working with industry leaders like Danger to provide the devices and technology that our customers want the most," said Alain Rhéaume, President and Chief Operating Officer of Microcell Solutions. "This niche needs to be filled in the youth market in Canada and this is the perfect solution."
