Nokia 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.
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."
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."
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
