SMARTNER ENHANCES SMARTPHONES WITH ALWAYS-ON EMAIL
Award-winning Smartner Duality now available on Symbian OS


Smartner, the European leader in mobile email and office solutions, today announced availability of its Smartner Duality mobile email solution (the winner of the 2003 3GSM award for best corporate wireless application) for Symbian OS smartphones that are shipping in volume worldwide, and its membership of the Symbian Platinum Program. With this announcement Smartner further demonstrates its strategy of cross-platform support for popular mobile devices.

Smartner's mobile email solution, Smartner Duality, extends access to Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes to mobile devices. It pushes new emails automatically to mobile professionals without any user interaction and provides them with complete control over their desktop functions while away from their office, with all actions mirrored simultaneously on their desktop. The Smartner Duality solution can be affordably deployed in environments ranging from only a few to thousands of users, thanks to an extremely easy installation process, data traffic management, and the support for a range of most popular mobile devices available.

"We are excited to work with Symbian to offer a new level of flexibility for mobile professionals, enterprises, and mobile operators: the freedom to have always-on mobile email in your favourite smartphone without compromising either user experience or security", said Paul Hedman, Chief Executive Officer, Smartner. "Now also users of Nokia 6600, 7650, and Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 smartphones can enjoy the benefits of always-on mobile email."

"Smartner is a well-established top-class vendor of mobile email and office solutions. We are delighted to support them in our drive to create the ecosystem of best-of-breed mobile solutions for users of phones based on Symbian OS," said David Wood, Executive Vice President, Partnering, Symbian. "Smartner Duality provides a compelling experience to end-users, and will enable companies of all sizes to realise the benefits of mobile email through increased efficiency and responsiveness to customers."
