Nokia installs Microsoft e-mail

Nokia Oyj, the world's largest maker of mobile phones, said it has added Microsoft Corp's e-mail system to as many as 80 million devices.

Microsoft's Mail For Exchange e-mail service will run on the third edition of Nokia's S60 operating software, currently used on 43 models, Espoo, Finland-based Nokia said in a statement on Wednesday. The feature will also become available for all future versions of the E-Series corporate devices as well as Nokia's N-Series multimedia mobile phones, the company said.

"Microsoft Mail For Exchange is the world's most popular e-mail solution," said Mark Louison, head of Nokia's North American operations, in an interview in San Francisco. "This is a great way for our users to unlock Mail For Exchange."
