Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will enable the Nokia Messaging push email
service in May
Espoo, Finland - Windows(TM) Live Hotmail®, one of the world's most
popular web-based email solutions, is now 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, adding to the tens of millions of popular Nokia
devices in the hands of consumers that already support the service.
Nokia Messaging is currently free to download and set-up, and
supports the world's most popular email accounts - Windows Live
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL Mail - and accounts from thousands
of other email providers. Easy to use, it enables access of up to 10
personal email accounts on a Nokia device, and through one single
icon. Once Nokia Messaging is set-up, email accounts can be added to
the service directly on the phone, as well as via the Nokia Messaging
website (
http://email.nokia.com).
With the addition of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia Messaging will
be available on 20 different device models worldwide, including the
recently announced Nokia E75 which is the first device to come
preloaded with Nokia Messaging, Nokia E71 - the world's slimmest
qwerty device, Nokia E63, Nokia E66 and Nokia N79**. More Nokia
device models, including the Nokia E55, Nokia N97 and Nokia N86 8MP,
will support Nokia Messaging when they begin shipping.
"We've come to understand that a key barrier for mass email adoption
is not the lack of features, but the usability. Nokia Messaging was
designed for ease of use and mobility. While offering people a full
feature set, Nokia Messaging still minimizes user actions and
simplifies the complex, such as eliminating the need to know
technical information. This reduces confusion and the amount of time
taken to set up and start using the service on the phone. By
prioritizing common actions and needs, we bring the most relevant and
frequently used actions upfront," said Atif Hussein, Vice President,
Products, Nokia Messaging. "With Nokia Messaging on the Nokia 5800
XpressMusic, we bring the service to people no matter what their
input preference - touch, qwerty or monoblock."
* To begin using Windows Live Hotmail, existing users will have to
download the latest Nokia Messaging software. Instructions can be
