Visto Mobile(TM) addresses business and personal needs for users of Nokia's new business handset
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 18 / Visto Corporation, the leading global provider of secure push mobile email, today announced that the new Nokia E50 mobile phone is supported by its Visto Mobile(TM) push email solution. With Nokia's mass-market business handset, Visto Mobile(TM) delivers on both business productivity and personal utility through device form factor and advanced application functionality.
All mobile workers need to remain "in-touch" and responsive to their contacts. Visto Mobile on the Nokia E50 delivers on this promise, making the benefits of mobile email accessible to the larger market of general business users. Users of the E50 will experience the same immediate, secure delivery of emails, contacts, calendar and task updates that they would on more expensive keyboard-based solutions.
"As a part of the Eseries business promise, the Nokia E50 has been equipped with a variety of email solutions in a small and stylized package," said Dave Grannan, general manager, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. "The collaboration with Visto is yet another great example of our commitment to providing choice to the market while enabling secure mobile email on the Eseries business devices."
"The Nokia E50 is an exciting voice-centric business device that is ideally positioned to extend the well recognized benefits of mobile email to all levels of the organization and all sizes of business in a proven form factor," said Jean Tripier, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Visto. "Working closely with Nokia, Visto has ensured that it is bringing to market the breadth of device choice essential to make this business market a success."
Visto's recent market survey identified the need to not just deliver on the productivity benefits of mobile email but to recognize the individual and how to improve their work-life balance. The ease-of-use of the Visto Mobile solution on the E50 together with features such as the delivery of work and personal emails to independent mailboxes on the phone is testimony to these requirements.
Visto Mobile will be demonstrated on the Nokia E50 at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Barcelona on the 21st-24th of May.
