Nokia Email: Visions of Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde and graceful swans

GLOBAL – In early August we spoke to Boston-based Andrew Mahon, one of the key people responsible for Nokia Email beta, to get an inside perspective on it and where it’s headed. Since then we also caught up with Tommi Vilkamo, the driving force behind Beta Labs, to get an interesting lowdown on the future of Nokia’s open R&D feedback service. So it’s great to see the collaboration between the Nokia Email team and Beta Labs continues to flourish away from the pure feedback facility, with Davis Fields this week posting heaps of handy tips for the app on the Beta Labs blog for anyone to soak up.

INTERNATIONAL – Totally revamping the way Nokia does email on the move is by no means an overnight change. It’s one of those exciting and delicate developments that obviously requires smart thinking, and a seriously committed team to create what we, as users, want. A couple of weeks back I chatted in depth to the man heading up the new Nokia Email service, Andrew Mahon, to get a better idea of the vision behind the fresh-faced emailing app – it was clear that the nuts and bolts are done, but the refinement process is key and just about to hit a higher gear.

Nokia email – a closer look with the creators

BOSTON, USA – Earlier this week I got to chat to Andrew Mahon, the man heading up Nokia Email and currently steering it through it’s early days as a beta application. Keen to highlight a vision of simplicity, and the way Nokia Email is pushing to overcome general hurdles relating to mobile email – lack of awareness and difficulty of set-up – Mahon went on to talk about the application in more depth, and where focus has been placed to ensure we’re met with the best possible user experience when it finally launches.

Nokia Email hammers home simplicity

BOSTON, USA – Despite being Nokia’s most dynamic email service to date, Nokia Email beta is still hiding in the shadows, only available on a beta site tucked away on Nokia’s website. Why? Simple, it’s a work in progress, and one that the team behind Nokia Email is working furiously hard to get spot on. Soon it will be rearing its head on Beta Labs, and that’s when the serious attention, scrutinizing and tidal waves of feedback will start flooding in. With that in mind (and before the controlled chaos begins) I spoke to the man heading up Nokia Email, Andrew Mahon, to get a better understanding of the thinking behind the evolution of email for Nokia devices.
