That however was the official launch which of course meant that the service was available for us to use much before its launch . In far away Europe, Orange has tied up with Nokia t
o offer the same services, this time co-branded. The service is called Nokia Messaging By Orange and the intention is to provide access to push e-mail to all. The agreement for this was signed back in February and both the companies have agreed to expand the services to eight more countries.
Nokia's messaging service offers users single interface to access up to 10 email accounts on the same device. You can do everything you can do with a normal POP3 email account with the Messaging Service (branded or not!). You can read, send, forward and reply to emails, access subfolders, download and read attachments or attach files to emails.
Now, that is interesting. At the moment we are unsure about the charges that end users will need to shell out for using these branded services. Note that users usually pay a premium for branded services like this which usually have little to offer to users over what the plain-jane version (like the one available in India now) has.
At the moment, Nokia does not have any tie-up with an Indian operators so you can enjoy the services without paying premium charges. But note that this one is a data intensive application and you might end-up with a nice bill at the end of the month if you are on a data capped connection.
For those who are lucky (like me) who are on an unlimited connection, enjoy while it lasts! Head here to download and install the application. The site has a list of supported devices as well.
