Espoo, Finland and Oslo, Norway - Nokia and Network Norway announced
today that they have signed a deal that will make Network Norway the
first operator in Norway, and also in Scandinavia, to offer Nokia
Messaging, Nokia's push email service. The service will be available
to Network Norway subscribers in July.
"Applications like Nokia Messaging contribute to easier mobile living
for our customers, and we're happy to be the first to deliver this
service in Norway. We believe our customers will find this service
appealing, both in terms of user-friendliness and price," says Arild
E. Hustad, CEO at Network Norway.
"Nokia wants to make mobile email available for as many people as
possible, and the agreement with Network Norway is an important
milestone in this work. With Nokia Messaging, we meet people's need
for access to email whenever they want, wherever they want," says
Christophe Joyau, Head of Services, Nokia Scandinavia.
Nokia Messaging is an easy to set-up and easy to use push email
service which allows the user to mobilize up to ten personal email
accounts in one device. Nokia's agreement with Network Norway
includes all leading consumer solutions for email, such as Gmail,
Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as local email service
providers. The user can read, send, forward and reply to emails and
download, read and attach files directly on their phone.
Push-technology ensures fast delivery of email to the mobile phone as
soon as the email arrives on the email server.
Nokia Messaging is fully integrated with the recently launched Nokia
E75, and this will also include upcoming models such as the Nokia
E55, Nokia E52 and Nokia N86 8MP. The service is already supported by
19 S60 devices from Nokia: consumers can continue using their
existing Nokia S60 devices, such as Nokia E71 or Nokia N95 8GB. To
get started with Nokia Messaging, they can easily download and
install the setup on the device and begin using the service within
just a few minutes.
