Wouldn’t it be great to access personal emails on the move as easily as receiving and sending a text message? And wouldn’t it be icing on the cake if you only received the ones that really matter and not the spam/junk?
I hear you say, but I can already using WAP portals such as O2 Active, T-zones, Orange World and Vodafone Live etc. Or via POP3 using the mobile email clients, or through downloading clients such as Yahoo Go! or Movamail.
I agree, they do exist, but have you ever tried setting up a handset client? And do you really want every single email (including spam) that comes into your inbox on your mobile? And don’t you want to know how much it‘s going to cost before you use it?
I don’t know about you but I, and many of the people I have spoken to, won’t use mobile email services for one or more of these reasons.
All I want is a simple to use service. Nothing technical or complex, just easy to set-up and use without the need for a computer science degree (maybe that’s a bit harsh, but you get the gist). And I think I may have found it in O2 Email to Mobile. Try it and decide for yourself.I apologise if this comes across as a product plug. But I worked on the development of this and believe that if you see something and truly have faith in it you should spread the word.
Finally, look out for my future blog on the future of email messaging on mobile phones. I promise there will be no product plugs, just a view of what’s out there and how they compare. If you would like to be notified of this in advance, email me and I will send you a copy – asomi@asomi.co.uk.
