Momail passes 1,000 mark - for handsets that is, not users!

momail.gifMomail, the mobile email service that aggregates all your email accounts into one inbox on your phone, has passed the 1,000 mark in terms of the handsets it supports.

Examples of the latest Momail-compatible phones are Apple’s iPhone, the LG Viewty, Motorola RAZR V9 and Q9h, Nokia N82 and 8800 Arte, Samsung P520 Armani and Sony Ericsson’s K660i, W380i and W890i.

Currently Momail is available in five Nordic countries, the UK and soon, Germany and Poland. More countries will follow in 2008.

While Momail is certainly a useful and easy to use service, letting you view attachments and featuring its own built-in Spam filter, there is a catch. It is free to download to your phone, but of course you do have to pay for the data downloads of emails delivered to your phone. If you get a lot of emails, you’ll get a lot of data charges.

01_nokia_8800_sapphire_arte_lowres.jpg01_nokia_8800_arte_lowres.jpgNokia has unveiled two new 8800 handsets designed to ‘excite the most discerning and style-conscious consumers’. And those with deep pockets with the phones retailing at over €1,000 each!

The 8800 range is Nokia’s premium handsets boasting high-end manufacturing and exotic stylings. Despite their high prices they’ve been a hit with consumers.

The latest two - the 8800 Arte (bottom) and 8800 Sapphire Arte with embedded gemstone and leather casing (top) - are also the first 8800 devices to boast 3G connectivity. Both sliders have metal and glass bodies, colour screens, 3.2-megapixel cameras, 1GB internal memory, MicroUSB connectors and anti-fingerprint coatings.

One intriguing feature is the ‘turn-to-mute’ feature, whereby you can set the 8800 Arte to silent mode simply by turning the handset screen-side down.

The handsets also have exclusive pre-loaded music content from top producers Kruder & Dorfmeister.

Are you ‘excited’ about getting one yet? Well, the Nokia 8800 Arte starts shipping before Christmas retailing at about €1000 (before taxes and subsidies), while the Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte will follow early next year retailing at around €1150 (again before taxes and subsidies).
