Nokia to bring Microsoft Exchange Activesync
To All Nokia S60 3rd Edition Devices

Nokia today announced that it is expanding its device range which supports Microsoft Exchange Activesync to all Nokia S60 3rd Edition devices.

43 Nokia S60 devices will now feature the Mail for Exchange mobile email application, making Nokia’s device range the largest ever to support the world’s most popular email server solution.

Nokia also announced today that Mail for Exchange will be available out-of-the-box in future releases of all Nokia Eseries and Nokia Nseries family 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 Microsoft’s Exchange Server.

"The Nokia-Microsoft collaboration to bring corporate mobile email to businesses and mobile professionals is truly an unbeatable one. No other device manufacturer comes close to the wide range of devices that we have which immediately support the world’s most popular business email solution," 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 support Microsoft Exchange Activesync."
