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, September 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE:
NOK) 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.
