Cell Phone Hits! – Daily Phone Buzz

Nokia has officially unveiled its Mail on Ovi service “live”, ready to be used on Series 40 handsets. The service includes Nokia’s free email account. Nokia also established a single login procedure for various Ovi features, replacing the old cumbersome system, which required a separate sign-in for each feature. Nokia announced its Mail on Ovi service a few months ago, pointing to the emerging markets as the motivation since personal computers are not as common in those markets. The Mail on Ovi service is free and offers users up to 1GB of online storage, with integrated junk mail filtering. During the Beta period, consumers will be able to choose from 12 languages based on the settings of their device. The languages currently supported include English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, Bengali, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia

Over the weekend, Nokia also announced that it started combining sign-ins for its overall services site Ovi.com and for its media sharing service Share on Ovi. Nokia said earlier this month it aims to make annual revenue of at least 2 billion euros ($2.79 billion) from Internet services in 2011, focusing on navigation, music, games, messaging and media.
