LAS VEGAS-Cingular Wireless L.L.C. said it will sell additional devices running Microsoft Corp.’s operating system in 2005. The carrier already offers Windows Mobile devices from Motorola Inc., Audiovox and Siemens AG.

“Our No. 1 goal is to maximize the wireless experience for our customers. We must provide customers with the best quality and coverage and most comprehensive mobility solutions in the country,” said Jeff Bradley, vice president of business marketing for Cingular Wireless. “By delivering devices that combine the breadth and quality of our Allover network with Windows Mobile software, we can offer customers a great everyday mobility experience.”

Cingular also sells devices running the Palm and Symbian operating systems, which directly compete with Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform.
