T-Mobile USA, Nokia and Pannon say they will bring Nokia's Messaging email service to their customers having Nokia-enabled devices in Hungary.

All Pannon customers and postpaid T-Mobile customers will be able to access the Nokia Messaging push e-mail service, which supports all leading consumer e-mail solutions, such as Ovi Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.

The service will also be available to major local eMail services, such as Citromail, Indamail and Freemail in Europe.

Gergely Tóth, acting CMO of Pannon said "in today's world, access is of key importance, not only the access to information but also the access to each other. Cell phones pose an obvious solution to keep in touch with each other, and the combination of a handset and an e-mail solution is perfectly in line with Pannon's goals to offer services to our customers that make their lives easier".

János Winkler, head of T-Mobile in Hungary said "overall, T-Mobile offers numerous solutions for the ever more popular mobile phone-based messaging service to all its customers, and the offer may become even more complete by introducing Nokia Messaging, as subscribers can choose the solutions that best matches their exact needs."

He added "wireless subscribers increasingly expect the capability to make telephone calls, Internet connections and watch television anytime and anywhere, and to have the freedom of accessing information or entertain themselves. Jointly with our partners, we wish to fully meet these expectations, building upon our expertise in mobile network management".

Marcus Störkel, country manager for Nokia in Hungary said "we are pleased to make this announcement simultaneously with Pannon and T-Mobile. Nokia aims to make mobile e-mail available for as many people as possible. The fact that two Hungarian operators offer Nokia Messaging is an important milestone. With Nokia Messaging, we can meet the need of people to access their public e-mail whenever they want, wherever they want".

The Nokia Messaging service can be tested for thirty days free of charge. Following the test period it will be available on a monthly charge. Wireless users can initiate the activation fee of the service at the customer service desk of their mobile operator.

The service can be used with Nokia E52, E66, E72, E71 and N97 mobile phones.

Nokia Messaging is an easy to set-up and easy to use push email service which allows the user to mobilize up to ten personal e-mail accounts on one device.

With Nokia Messaging, people get the benefit of real time messaging and are able to read, send, forward and reply to emails, view subfolders, download and read attachments and also attach files to emails in real time.

Using the push e-mail technology e-mail is automatically sent to the mobile phone, without needing to retrieve it.
