Not to be catty but Profimail is still the best for html emails on Nokia/Symbian

I am back using my Nokia N97. Why you may well ask. Why not rather use my new HTC Hero, or my new Palm Pre, or my Touch HD, or Blackberry Bold, or E90, or or or. Who knows, I definitely don’t. The Hero got taken off me by my son, who had been eyeing it for weeks. Anyway the N97 is not bad. I updated it with the latest software update, and it now does kinetic scrolling which gets it a bit closer to the kind of finger scrolling possible on the Hero and iPhone. The slide-out keyboard is also nice. Definitely beats typing on the Hero’s on-screen keyboard. Actually there is a lot to like about the N97: the widget based home screen, the browser, Gravity twitter client, nice size screen, and so on. The one area where it still fall short is the built-in email client which still doesn’t support html in rich text format. Tried the free Nokia Messaging client which is better but still not as good as it can be. I especially dislike the way in which the menu buttons use way too much screen real estate. That left me with no other choice but to once again install Profimail. It is not free, but it is good. Check it out at www.lonelycatgames.com

Push email’s best kept secret (and it’s free)

Sign up for Seven’s beta program and you can push the corporate email, calendar and contacts of up to 25 people using a single desktop pc. They call it a beta program, but it is really Seven’s way of testing its products before releasing them to its main market, mobile networks who in turn offer Seven in rebranded form to their subscribers. Despite this I have found the “beta” software to be of very good quality. Their support is also excellent, provided via the forums on their website.

Seven supports a number of mobile platforms – Windows Mobile, Symbian, PalmOS (the old one, not the new WebOS) and Android. On the other end of the pipe it supports Microsoft Exchange of course and Lotus Notes. Not that many push email systems out there catering for Lotus Notes, so this is good news for those of us wedded to Lotus Notes for better or for worse. Seven works in always-on mode, so emails come through in real time. Does hit your phone’s battery life, but luckily the software allows you to set quiet times/days during which time email do not get pushed.

Am using it currently on my E90. Have used it on various Windows phones also, as well HTC’s Hero. Only syncs emails on the Hero though. Wish they’d bring out a client for the new Palm Pre, but in the meantime I use Commontime mNotes5 for the Pre. More about that later.

Did I mention that it is completely free? Get it at http://community.seven.com
