14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia’s Asha 302 and Asha 303 are getting a taste of the Mail for Exchange application that the Finnish handset vendor is preparing for its S40 devices.
The application is available in a beta flavor at the moment, so that users can have a look at it and provide feedback on the experience it can deliver.
However, Nokia is set to make the app available through the official Nokia Store portal soon, and it is actively working on enhancing it.
Those who did not have the chance to download and install the software on their devices can do so through accessing the Nokia Beta Labs, where the pre-release version is up for grabs.
“Nokia Mail for Exchange for Asha 302 and Asha 303 is a beta release mobile email application that utilizes widely used Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol,” Nokia explains.
“This protocol enables Email, Calendar and Contact data synchronization between compatible Nokia Asha phones and Microsoft Exchange servers.”
Some of the main features of the app include the possibility to access emails while on the go, complemented by the option to flag, move and copy messages.
The app also provides support for extended text formatting, it can synchronize multiple accounts at the same time and offers autocomplete of contacts when composing emails.
With Nokia Mail for Exchange for Asha 302 and Asha 303, users will also be able to search for messages locally, view attachment file names and forward these attachments.
The software was designed to sync email, calendar and contacts data over a secure HTTPS connection, and to offer data encryption capabilities. Application inactivity security lock was also included in the software.
It also delivers support for essential ActiveSync security policies, such as “Alphanumeric password required - Minimum password length - Minimum password required complex characters - Maximum failed password attempts - Local wipe after maximum attempts.”
