Bangalore: Nokia will launch its push email service called, 'Nokia messaging' which ensures the quick delivery of emails directly to the mobile phone,in India by December this year. The company has been undertaking trials for its messaging system since April, and is in the process of getting the required approvals from the Indian Department of Telecommunications.
The move has garnered widespread interest in the domestic telecom market as Nokia gears up to topple Canadian smartphone maker Research In Motion's (RIM) dominance in push email with BlackBerry services, reports Economic Times.
The service runs on more than 20 Nokia smartphones which run on the Symbian S60 platform. This includes the E Series handsets, 5800 XpressMusic, N97 and N86, among others. The service will also be provided on mid-level mobile phones so that regular customers can benefit.
Nokia India Director (Marketing) Vineet Taneja said, "India figures among the largest countries globally in terms of the number of users for Nokia Messaging Service even in the trial phase. We plan to launch the service by the year-end. We are in advance stages of discussion with different operators, whereby consumers will get the service through an operator plan."
