Here are a few things about the email client on the upcoming Nokia N8. If you’re familiar with Nokia’s history, you’ll know they launched the first downloadable email client back in 2008 for devices like the E71. Nokia users really enjoyed the user experience and design of that client, but wished they could have done more in terms of integration with the device.
On the Nokia E75, they introduced the integrated email that handled Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange and direct POP/IMAP accounts all in one place. Users on those devices really enjoyed that integration but wished for a few things like HTML opening by default.
With the Nokia N8, Nokia is bringing out the best of both worlds in an integrated experience. On this new client (which can also be found on the recently shipping Nokia C6), users will find a number of brand new features like full HTML support, full device integration with multiple home screen email accounts and loads more, check out the video below.
Some of you will likely comment “where is this for my current device”. Nokia excel themselves in making durable, robust devices that work for many years. The folks over at the Messaging group have done an excellent job bringing advanced Email (and IM) to Nokia devices. Just look at a device like the E71 which shipped with a POP/IMAP client with no HTML, they brought a client that delivered push access with full HTML support to any email provider shortly afterwards. Nokia fully expect and understand people to respond that they’d like to see these features listed above coming to their existing phones. They will be doing their best to deliver a compelling experience to as many users as possible through client and firmware updates.
Nokia are very proud of their existing clients and even more excited about what they’re bringing out on the new N8.
