Nokia Messaging Updated: It's Coming Along Slowly But Surely

Hi all! Long time no talk. I've been pretty busy the past few weeks, I haven't had a chance to write but don't be discouraged, I have plenty of articles up in the old noggen that I've been meaning to get out. For now I want to tell you about the recently updated Nokia Messaging application. It's become one of the "must-have" applications on my N82 as the latest version works flawlessly 99% of the time with my Gmail account. That reminds me, I have to do another "must-have applications" article for you all soon.

Keep in mind that it's being called a "patch", rather than an entire new version. Here's what has been updated according to Davis Fields at the S60 blogs...

The Nokia Messaging team has released a patch for Nokia Messaging that is available now at email.nokia.com. This patch does a few nice things, including returning APN selection in the client, the addition of the E75 and E55 to the Nokia Messaging family, and upgrading our notification system for Yahoo! Mail users.
Yahoo users will need save their credentials to upgrade their Yahoo Mail accounts so they continue to receive email. Open the Inbox for the Yahoo email address, and select Back. Select Settings on the launcher page. Open the Settings for the Yahoo address. Type the password for this email address in the Password field and Select Back and you’re ready to go.

If you purchase one of our recently announced, attractive devices like the Nokia E75, you can immediately enjoy Nokia Messaging. If you’re in a country where Nokia Messaging has launched, and the client is preloaded on your phone (like the E75), you will automatically be guided through email setup using Nokia Messaging. We’ve launched in the UK, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Venezuela, Australia, Singapore, Italy, Poland, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and the Czech Republic. If you’re not in one of those countries, you can go to email.nokia.com and sign up for an email account there. The E75 and E55 feature our first clients that include support for HTML, but don’t worry, we are close to our next release for older devices that includes support for HTML.

Nokia Messaging Email is now available on 18 S60 devices in 17 languages, which is impressive but is only the beginning of our effort to build a complete messaging solution across all Nokia devices for the global markets. Thank for your feedback and support during this trial period. We hope you enjoy Nokia Messaging.

It's really worth the upgrade if you haven't already. I've been pretty happy with the speed of the incoming emails since the update. And no, I'm not sure about the pricing details or if there will be any at a specific time. Surely, I'll let you know as soon as I find out. For now it's free and they are still gathering feedback from all of you, so click here to let them know your thoughts.
