SEVEN first to ship push email for new Symbian OS v9 smartphones

Out-of-the-box email functionality available on the latest data and voice-centric business devices from leading manufacturers

Redwood City, CA - June 1, 2006.  SEVEN today announced the immediate commercial release of push email on the latest mobile devices powered by Symbian OS v9. SEVEN’s push email solutions will be immediately available on eagerly-anticipated devices such as the Nokia Eseries, ranging from the Nokia E61, a device built for mobile email, to mass market business handset Nokia the E50, the smallest of the Eseries, as the devices become available through SEVEN’s extensive network of over 90 mobile operators and numerous resellers worldwide.

The availability of SEVEN’s award-winning push email on the devices means mobile professionals and consumers now have even more choice in the way they access their email, contact and calendar information while on the move. Forum Nokia honoured SEVEN with Best S60 Enterprise Application Award in December 2005 and recently SEVEN push email was highly commended in the 2006 GSMA Award for the Best Mobile Enterprise Application.

“We know that one-size doesn’t fit all and SEVEN’s support for the Nokia Eseries is yet another example that we are providing choice for the market,” said Dave Grannan, General Manager, Mobility Solutions, Nokia. “We are excited to continue working with SEVEN to offer businesses a powerful mobile email experience for their Nokia Eseries devices.”

As one of the few vendors accredited for Symbian Self Certification, acknowledging the quality and competence of SEVEN’s development processes, SEVEN works in close cooperation with device manufacturers and Symbian to develop its push email solution, putting it through rigorous testing to ensure compatibility across a range of advanced 2G, 2.5G and 3G phones, smartphones and PDAs. 

Symbian
“We’re delighted that SEVEN has developed its mobile email solution for Symbian OS v9 phones that matches new mobile phone launch schedules,” said Simon Garth, vice president, marketing, Symbian. “Our focus is to ensure that Symbian OS is ideally suited for a wide selection of smaller, less expensive and more powerful phones which enable consumers and mobile workers alike to choose applications that help them improve their lifestyles and productivity respectively. We believe that Seven’s solution on Symbian OS v9 smartphones provides just that.“

“Most people want to use just one device for both voice and data, and this next generation of Symbian devices offers a number of exciting options by integrating an applications environment with advanced voice services. The result is a range of new devices which, combined with our software, make it easier than ever to access corporate email and information while out of the office,” said Paul Hedman, Chief Operating Officer, SEVEN. “Our developers have worked extremely hard to ensure that mobile professionals benefit from a seamless remote office experience, and quickly enjoy the productivity gains mobile email creates.”
