43 Nokia S60 3rd Edition devices - the largest range from any device
manufacturer to enable Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync - now feature
the latest version of Mail for Exchange with fast and easy email
set-up
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that it is expanding its
device range which enables Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to all Nokia
S60 3rd Edition devices. 43 Nokia devices will now feature the Mail
for Exchange mobile email application, making Nokia's device range
the largest ever to enable the solution chosen by more businesses
than any other messaging solution. Nokia also announced today that
Mail for Exchange will be available out-of-the-box in future releases
of Nokia Eseries and Nokia Nseries devices.
With this announcement, Nokia is enabling about 80 million* mobile
phone users - which is the number of Nokia S60 3rd Edition converged
devices shipped globally to date - to connect to their email accounts
on the Exchange Server.
"The Nokia-Microsoft collaboration to bring corporate mobile email to
businesses and mobile professionals is truly unbeatable. No other
device manufacturer provides the wide range of devices that we have
which immediately mobilize the hundreds of millions of email accounts
from Microsoft Exchange," said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice
President, Markets, Nokia. "The costs of mobility are contained as
companies are able to utilize existing Microsoft Exchange
infrastructure, and there is also the strong possibility that a large
number of employees already have one or more of the 43 Nokia devices
that enable Exchange ActiveSync."
"Nokia is a valued partner and we are pleased they are making it
easier for their approximately 80 million S60 3rd Edition customers
to realize the benefits of Exchange Server," said Terry Myerson,
Corporate Vice President, Exchange Server, Microsoft Corp. "This
announcement with Nokia further demonstrates the importance consumers
and businesses place on accessing Exchange Server data from mobile
devices in addition to traditional desktop clients. Nokia's
announcement today will help give its users that access and help make
them more productive."
Nokia owners whose companies use Exchange can set up Mail for
Exchange for free on their devices in various ways without paying
additional services or subscription fees - from the email set-up
plug-in on the home screen, by launching the application from the
Download! folder, or via the Settings Wizard**. Once the application
is set up, users utilize their current data plan service to get
real-time access to their office email, calendar, contacts, tasks and
company directory over a secure connection.
"We take corporate and IT security policies seriously, and a
comparison study showed that the device management and security
policies for devices such as the Nokia Eseries are robust," added Mr
Vanjoki. "This should give business heads and IT managers greater
confidence when choosing between device brands to mobilize their
workforce."
By connecting to the Exchange Server 2007, Mail for Exchange enables
features such as Autodiscover, which drastically simplifies the
set-up process by requiring the email account holder to only enter
their email address, password, domain and usernames; 'Out of Office'
messaging, enabling busy professionals to set their out-of-office
messages directly from their Nokia device; synchronization when
roaming, a must-have feature for travelling businesspeople; and also
Flag status for follow-ups.
While the Exchange ActiveSync protocol is compatible with many types
of devices, Nokia device users will have access to features that are
currently not available in other Exchange ActiveSync licensees'
devices. Setting email priorities, alerts for meeting request
conflicts, a standalone global address list application to search for
a colleague's contact details quickly, downloading and editing all
types of attachments, not just image files, are must-have factors
that users will expect from their mobile email application.
Microsoft Exchange Server is the industry's leading server for
e-mail, calendaring and unified messaging. Microsoft Exchange Server
2007 is the foundation for a dynamic and holistic unified
communications experience, and has been designed to meet the
challenges, and address the messaging needs, of today's businesses.
Exchange Server 2007 provides customers with anywhere access to
information, advanced built-in protection and greater operational
efficiency.
* As at end July 2008
** On-device set-up of Mail for Exchange may vary between devices
