Have
You Tried the New Email Phone?
Nokia E75, released in the market today (April 6), is said to be the
first device to ship with the new email user interface, offering full
desktop email functionality, and integration of Nokia's email and
messaging services.
The device has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and three-step email setup.
This is achieved with the integration of Nokia Messaging, which ships
with a device for the first time in the Nokia E75.
Last week, Nokia said that
Windows Live
Hotmail is available on Nokia Messaging, the service that enables people
to access their personal email on their Nokia devices. In May, Nokia
Messaging will also be supported by the
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia's
first mass-market touchscreen device.
While it’s believed that texting and email
are the killer apps on mobile phones,
AT&T has also announced a range of
smartphones and quick messaging phones. Called integrated devices,
they’ll be available in AT&T stores and through online channels in the
coming weeks.
Nokia
Messaging is a service that opens up leading consumer email accounts –
including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and Windows Live Hotmail. It also works
for Nokia's corporate email clients, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus
Notes Traveler, which provide direct access to over 90% of the world's
corporate inboxes as well, says Nokia.
The
company says the email experience in the device brings all of the
owner's accounts into one user interface (UI), which supports the most
common features for desktop email including expanding views, one click
reply and sub-folder, and HTML support.
Nokia
is already flooding the market with a slew of devices. Last month, it
had announced the new Nokia Music Stores, more Comes With Music
launches,
and three new music devices: Nokia 5730 XpressMusic, Nokia
5330 XpressMusic, and Nokia 5030. The aim, it said, is to help consumers
access the music library, shop, and manage music.
Nokia has also joined hands with Qualcomm to
develop advanced UMTS mobile devices, initially for North America. The
companies intend for the devices to be based on S60 software on Symbian
OS, which is software for smartphones.
Now,
added to the enhanced email functionality, upgraded personal information
management features such as the ability to create and respond to meeting
requests, and contacts lookup and auto-complete, also make their debut
in the Nokia E75.
It
integrates to other Ovi services and ships with Ovi Files, for storing
files online, Nokia Maps, which works with the onboard A-GPS, and
Nokia's games service N-Gage which is supported for the first time in a
Nokia Eseries device.
