Tuesday, September 8, 2009 Leave a Comment


Words just came in today that Nokia is planning to push mail service on its E-and N series devices.The new push mails service, aptly named Nokia Messaging will fight neck to neck in the push mail marketand will hope challenge Blackberry's supremacy in the Smartphones arena.The Nokia Messaging service will allow for push email notification to Symbian S60 phones using their phone client. The service will support  Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Nokia's own Ovi mail, or custom IMAP/POP servers. The service will serve push email notification for all configured email accounts.

                Though Nokia is still the no.1 manufacturer of Cellphones, including smartphones, it has seen its marketshare considerably reduced by latecomers Apple and Research In Motion (the maker of Blackberry) specially in the smartphone market. It had partly to do with Nokia running out of ideas the past few years. Symbian S60 haven't seen a succesor for almost 4 yrs now. Compounded by constant hanging and depleting user experience. Nokia has seen power users leave in droves. Let's hope this new development help Nokia get a grip of itself again.
