The Official Release of Nokia Messaging!

Nokia today announced the official release of Nokia Messaging application which basically means that now you can simply and affordably gain mobile access to the world's most popular email and IM accounts.

The just released application brings lots of more than welcome improvements and most of these improvements were based on community feedback from the previous beta testing of Nokia Email service that now graduates as part of the Nokia Messaging!

Now you can access up to 10 of your personal email accounts. Set up Gmail, and leading global and local Email Service Provider (ESP) accounts.

The user interface is improved as well and now each email arrives in its own mailbox, and you can access all emails in one place.

Unfortunately one of the most wanted feature, support for HTML messages is not included in this release but they claims that HTML support is now closer to realization and should be available within the next major update.
