Hello,
Today I’d like to highlight a few things about the email client on the upcoming Nokia N8 that I know our fans are going to love. If you’re familiar with our history, you’ll know we launched first with a downloadable email client back in 2008 for devices like the E71. A lot of our users really enjoyed the user experience and design of that client, but wished we could have done more in terms of integration with the device.
On the Nokia E75, we introduced the integrated email that handled Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange and direct POP/IMAP accounts all in one place. Users on those devices really enjoyed that integration but wished for a few things like HTML opening by default.
With the Nokia N8 we’re proud to be bringing out the best of both worlds in an integrated experience. On this new client (which can also be found on the recently shipping Nokia C6), users will find a number of brand new features, with accompanying italics to indicate why this matters to you as a current Messaging user.
• Full HTML support
o Including pinch-and-zoom support and kinetic scrolling throughout the client
• Full device integration with multiple home screen email accounts
o So you can see up to ten accounts on the homescreen
• Email client syncs read-notifications
o So when you read a message on the desktop, your phone syncs that info (and vice versa)
• UI and Settings simplification
o Easier setup, faster client and quicker navigation
• Improved reliability server-side
o Service uptime is an incredibly important barometer for us and this new client takes advantage of server-side improvements that will further increase reliability
• Portal address lookup for Gmail and Hotmail
o Ability to look up your contacts email addresses from your portal address book
• Messaging Service benefits
o Battery life efficiency, on-demand attachment download and forwarding,
• Supports 250 messages in the inbox
o Up from 100 in the current clients
• Supports 10 IMAP subfolders
o No need to select on website, client automatically selects first ten subfolders
• Memory storage on the largest non-removable memory drive available
o Never worry about memory usage from message store
I do feel compelled to write out in advance that many people will likely comment “where is this for my current device”. Nokia is proud to make durable, robust devices that work for many years. I feel that we in the Messaging group have done an excellent job bringing advanced Email (and IM) to Nokia devices. Looking at a device like an E71 which shipped with a POP/IMAP client with no HTML, we brought a client that delivered push access with full HTML support to any email provider.
We fully expect and understand people to respond that they’d like to see these features listed above coming to their existing phones. We do our best to deliver a compelling experience to as many users as possible through client and firmware updates. We are very proud of the existing clients and even more excited about what we’re bringing out on the N8.
