Nokia officially announced earlier today that its Mail for Exchange application, previously reserved for the Eseries and a select few Nseries, will be made available for all S60 3rd Edition handsets. The news is great for business users who don’t want to be limited with the multimedia hindrances of an Eseries, but still need to be connected.
Mail For Exchange will be preloaded on most Eseries and Nseries handsets in the future, but should be available immediately in the Download! application for all S60 3rd Edition smartphones. A new setup wizard has also been implemented, attempting to simplify the setup process. The application allows users to connect to corporate or commercial Microsoft Exchange services and synchronize their email, calendar, contacts, and tasks, and even offers access to a corporate directory, if one exists.
While Mail for Exchange is free, it does require a data connection, so you’ll want to make sure you have one setup through your carrier before you use it.
While I have not personally used Mail for Exchange (as I use Gmail IMAP), I find it rather interesting that Nokia is pushing Mail for Exchange through its product line, when they also recently launched the Nokia Email beta, which uses Intellisync. I realize it’s awesome to offer choices to the consumer, but I can’t help but wonder about the differences in the two, from Nokia’s standpoint.
