As Americans pack up and hit the road this holiday season, most will take email with them. According to a survey commissioned by Nokia, whose Nokia E72 smartphone is in stores now, more than two-thirds (68%) of Americans plan to respond to work-related emails while on vacation or over the holidays this year. This is up from just over half (51%) who say they’ve exchanged work emails during the holidays in previous years.
The on board Facebook widget/bookmark has just received a new update, and is available to download via the Ovi Store. Originally the E71 had a bookmark linked to a mobile version of the Facebook website, and it wasn’t as pretty as the N97′s dedicated Facebook application. Well it’s finally here, and has a similar set up to the one found on S60 5th Edition devices. I’m not too sure whether this is only available for the E71/E72, but I suppose it should also work for any other S60 3rd Edition device with the same landscape display. Check out some thoughts after the jump.
Voice UI is evolving, enabling the use of the device even without seeing or touching it. Check out this demonstration using the Nokia E52 in hands-free and eyes-free mode.
The world’s most popular instant messaging service, Windows Live Messenger, is now available via Nokia Messaging. Accessible through the Nokia Messaging Chat application, people worldwide can have multiple conversations simultaneously, change their status and personal messages, and manage their Windows Live buddy lists straight from their homescreen.
The highly anticipated Nokia E72, a device tailor-made for business and personal messaging is now available in stores. To coincide with the arrival of the Nokia E72, Nokia has also released research* revealing that more people rely on email than on traditional phone calls or text messaging when sending and responding to critical information. Check out the full press release after the break.
