Out-of-the-box Email Functionality Available on the Latest Data and Voice-centric Business Devices From Leading Manufacturers

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 2 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
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 the Nokia
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.  

    "We're delighted that SEVEN has invested the time
and resource to develop its mobile email solution for
Symbian OS v9 phones in a timely manner to match new mobile
phone launch schedules," said Simon Garth, vice
president, marketing Symbian. "Our focus is to ensure
that Symbian OS is ideally suited for smaller, less
expensive and more powerful smartphones, which provide
business and consumer users with applications to improve
productivity. 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."
