e-mail on a mobile
Posted by: Right Wing on 27 September 2007
I am after a decent phone that will allow me to remotely access my e-mail for work.
Can anyone offer any advise?
We use the network orange so it would probably be easier to stick with them.
Cheers in advance

Well, I use a Nokia e61, which I'm pretty happy with.
It's quite large, for a phone, but has a good sized screen for web browsing and e-mail. It also has a full keyboard with much less fiddly keys than some (e.g. the Palm Treo range).
However, I do have one or two reservations. It doesn't support full HTML mails (e.g. things with graphics embedded in them). It will automatically check your e-mail, but only a maximum of once every half hour and, annoyingly, if it ever fails to get through it switches this function off. The other thing is if you want to check a hotmail account you have to go via the internet (but then this is a limitation on even some windows based phones like the Treo 750).
I'd suggest the blackberry range is worth checking out, since I've heard good things about them, I never investigated as I wanted it to sync for calendar stuff with my Mac (which the nokia also does very well).

I use a Sony Ericsson P990i (with the flip-keyboard removed) which allows me access to my company email no problem. I can also access my Hotmail easily. A colleague at work has his on Orange.
The phone has a few niggles, but I love it. I'm with Vodafone,and an add-on I have is 120Mb data per month for £7.50. Bargain.

The Apple iPhone may be worth waiting for.

It's available with O2 contracts in a few weeks.

Blackberry for e-mail. It's one of the main selling points of them. The push service works very well indeed and you don't need to fire the browser up to access it.
