Ovi Mail for the masses
Posted by: Maria Mihale in Nokia
It’s no surprise for anyone that Nokia has always been very careful as far as the emerging markets are concerned, as the Finnish company has come up with a significant number of devices in the past couple of years that were targeted at these markets and at them only.
In their attempt to bring the email services to everyone, Nokia comes right now with a piece of very good news: Ovi Mail has just been updated. The campaign has a very noble purpose, to bring email in the emerging markets, to the masses. So, it’s somehow an “email for the masses” campaign.

First of all, you will find support for 3 new languages that weren’t included in Ovi Mail before: Italian, Latin American Spanish and Vietnamese. This way, the number of languages supported by the service is 14, but Nokia ensures everyone that there are plenty more to be released in the future.
There are other features that you might like: the compose space for emails is larger, there is an auto-check functionality when writing new messages, the CC and BCC fields automatically expand whenever you enter multiple recipients.
As I mentioned earlier, Ovi Mail is now aimed at those people who will find it difficult to access a computer, so they will be able to set the service up on their Nokia devices and use it directly from there. And what’s most important is that people will have many handsets to choose from, because there are more than 40 Nokia cell phones (part of the Series 40) that come equipped with support for Ovi Mail in approximately 170 countries from all over the world.
