Momail, 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.
Sony Ericsson’s going to unveil three new handsets tomorrow, and in the best tradition of the blogosphere, details on them have already been leaked.
Sony Ericsson W890i
Perhaps the biggest news is the launch of the W890i, a slimline 3G Walkman phone. It’s an upgrade of the W880i, and has the latest version of PlayNow (4.0) and a 3.2-megapixel camera.
Sony Ericsson W380i
A second Walkman phone is also going to be announced - the low-end W380i. Again, this is another upgrade, this time of the W300i. It will apparently feature something called ‘gesture control’, although what this involves isn’t clear at time of writing.
Sony Ericsson K660i
Finally, the third handset is the 3G web-browsing phone, the K660i. Its selling point is that it will let users browse the mobile web in portrait/landscape modes and is controlled by a pointer cursor. Presumably this will be the latest Opera mobile web browser (Mini 4).
So there you have it, details of Sony Ericsson’s Christmas releases - two updates and a 3G web browsing handset. The three phones are almost certainly going to be well-made and popular handsets, but surely Sony Ericsson’s going to unveil more than this tomorrow?
Update: All three were announced as predicted, and all should be in stores before Christmas.
