Nokia rolls out Microsoft's Exchange Activesync in 43 of the company's phones. All models in the series E and N will have the support of Microsoft's e-mail service.
Previously Nokia has given customers the option to download Activesync to some of the company's top phones, but now the product should be supported in all phones based on Symbian OS S60. It is about the 43 different models available in 80 million copies.
In addition the Exchange Activesync will be preloaded in a wide range of models with business as a target group. The initiative is seen as an attempt by Nokia to attract the many U.S. companies now often choosing RIMs Blackberry for handling e-mail.
Among other suppliers who support Activesync is Palm, Apple and Motorola. Microsoft's e-mail manager will also become an important component in Sony Ericsson's first Window based mobile phone, Xperia X1, which will begin to sell October 10.
