Nokia launches Nokia Messaging and Mail on Ovi
Additional news from the Nokia front: The company announced the launch of Nokia messaging – a new push email service that consolidates access to consumer email and IM on Nokia devices – as well as an online portal for Mail on Ovi – allowing PC users to create and access Ovi email accounts as well as other Ovi services through a single sign-on account.
Nokia Messaging will launch in the Q1 2009 in Australia, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, the UK, and Venezuela. It will be an operator supported service that will enable push access to email and IM access straight to Nokia devices. The service will work with popular messaging platforms including Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and ISP mail services. Owners of Nokia S60 devices can try the service for free as a limited period beta trial. All you’ll need to do is head to email.nokia.com and download and setup the application to work with your existing email accounts. Emails are then “seamlessly pushed to their mobile device”.
Nokia also introduced web access to Mail on Ovi, giving users 1GB of storage space and spam filters to block unwanted email messages. Creating an account on Mail on Ovi will also provide access to other Ovi services through a single sign-on account – both on the phone and on the PC. A beta version of Mail on Ovi will be introduced in December in 12 languages. The web access version will launch in February of 2009.
