I’m seeing more and more S60 5th edition apps become available which is great news for Nokia 5800 users. Over the next few weeks I’ll be reviewing a handful of 5th Edition applications for the Nokia 97 and 5800 since I’ll have hands on experience. I recently got the Nokia 5800XM NAM. And not the red or blue version – but the black version with silver trim. Very slick! For people on the fence about the Nokia 5800 now is a good time to take the plunge. You can buy it from Amazon right now for $301. Not a bad deal for such an advanced device.
A month ago to this day I showed you an exclusive sneak preview of Nokia Messaging for the 5800. If you’re not familiar with Nokia Messaging it’s Nokia’s new email solution, and I must say it has been working very well on my E71 and N82 combo. The version I reviewed last month for the 5800 was an early alpha with a few quarks here and there. Not more problems than I’d expect from an alpha.
Since then the fellas developing Nokia Messaging have been hard at work fine tuning the application. It’s now available for anyone to try and give feedback at Beta Labs. Email is very important to me and most people so getting this application right is a priority for the development team.
Nokia Messaging makes mobile email easy and mobilizes consumer email across a range of Nokia devices. Nokia Messaging enables users to quickly set up, access, and use their email on their Nokia devices through a service that is optimized for mobile email.
The final release for the Xpress Music 5800 will be coming in May via the Nokia Messaging site. Before that, we'd love to hear if you encounter any issues, or if there are ways in which you would like us to improve the S60 5.0 client.
Known Issues with the S60 5th Edition client
- HTML support is coming in a future release.
- You many encounter a few quirks involving jumping between mailboxes, please note anything you find in the support forums
If you have anymore issues or suggestions be sure to leave them your feedback. Remember…beta means it’s there for you to test out. It’s not the final version. Try it on your Nokia 5800 and let us know what you think.

This email app is no longer available on beta labs and the app over at nokia messaging is not this... its the plain old email app with a different email setup interface...
Is there any reason why you prefer Nokia Messaging over Mail For Exchange?
