Nokia email client wows

nokia
I am running the new Nokia email client on a number of handsets on test mode at present and it absolutely does what it says on the tin.

I am using my gmail account and delivery is prompt and definitely as fast as the iPhone on tests and also runs IMAP which syncs with my host account.
I am also testing the Nokia E71 which is very impressive and will follow up with a post later on this at a later date.

    Hallelujah! The email client native to the N95 is an abomination, so I’m eager to get this running. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be coming to you for any tech support, of course… ;-)

    Sounds great — should be getting my N95 in a few weeks (when my O2 contract expires :-) ) so good to know there’s an alternative e-mail client available.

    When reviewing the E71, please share your impression of “first touch” because I think the phone’s form factor takes soap bars to a new level.

    FINALLY! When I first started working at Qik back in February, I told Bhaskar Roy, that I would build a email client to get Qik email on my N95… that never happened :P At least I can use this now!

    Bloody thing won’t even let me sign-up using my LouderVoice account which is hosted by Google Apps. Grrrr.

    I don’t like that it eventually won’t be free and that’s not available to all latest symbian phones (s60?) like E50 and similar.

    I also don’t understand why I am forced to let Nokia know my passwords – why can’t I run it on my ophone (many email servers support email push, that is IMAP IDLE command, so I don’t feel the need to have nokia’s servers in between).

    Thank you

    I like the client, in particular the fact that on my E51 it allow me to have 2 inboxes as standy plugins on the home screen (SMS & email). However the app kills the battery. I’ve temporarily disabled it & battery life has soared.

    First up I work for Nokai so I can’t really comment other than to say I use the client for my home email and just wanted to suggest that in the setting you can change the client from ‘push’ to time period updates if you want to save a bit of battery life. It will only make a difference if you are getting high email traffic volumes though.

    Hi Mark. I am using push rather than time updates, however not downloading much on this account. The value for me is in real time delivery. I’m hoping that as it’s a beta release a future version will be kinder to the battery.

    I’ll pass the feedback into the program, as I have an E90 which has a lot of battery capacity and I’m running our push Mail for Exchange client for my work email I don’t see any additional hit as work email outnumbers
    the home stuff by 100:1.

    Hmmm just noticed in my original post that after 15 years I’ve still not learned to spell Nokia

    I also work for Nokia, just wanted to comment that we’re aware about the google-apps hosted domains having setup issues, and that we’re constantly working on resolving bugs and improving performance of the client. Keep the feedback coming through the feedback button on email.nokia.com!
