Leading regional collaboration adds email to music and maps for the
ultimate mobile multimedia experience
Mexico, DF and Espoo, Finland - América Móvil and Nokia announced
today that they will bring a top of the line messaging experience in
multiple devices to customers in Latin America. The agreement adds
to the leading collaboration between both companies in music and
maps, to meet the growing demand for multimedia options on mobile
devices in the region.
Through this agreement, the Nokia Messaging solution will be
available to América Móvil customers in seven countries before the
end of the year. América Móvil is the first operator to announce a
Latin America-wide offering of Nokia Messaging to its customers.
"Messaging is ready for exponential growth in Latin America. As the
leading operator in Latin America, we will be leading in this space,"
said Marco Quatorze, Head of Value Added Services, América Móvil.
"Collaboration with Nokia in the messaging space is one of the
strategies we are pursuing to drive this growth."
Blanca Juti, Nokia Vice President for the América Móvil Account,
said: "We are delighted to make this announcement with América Móvil.
This collaboration is a good example of how Nokia is extending its
vision of 'Connecting People'. Together with América Móvil, Nokia
Messaging will deliver on the promise of mobile messaging for
everyone in the region."
Through Nokia Messaging, América Móvil customers will be able to
aggregate and manage multiple email accounts while on the move in a
single application, using a very intuitive user interface. The Nokia
Messaging solution is simple to set up and consumers can access up to
10 personal email accounts. Many users want to enjoy the flexibility
of different accounts for each of their communities. With Nokia
Messaging, people get the benefit of real time messaging and are able
to read, send, forward and reply to emails, view subfolders, download
and read attachments and also attach files to emails in real time
using a Nokia device.
América Móvil and Nokia have agreed to launch Nokia Messaging first
in five countries this summer with the Nokia E63, Nokia E71 Black,
Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. These devices will include the license for
Nokia Messaging, which will be promoted in attractive data plans
together with América Móvil.
"We are seeing a great response to our smartphones in Latin America -
like the Nokia E71- which focus on mobility. Additionally, the market
is showing strong interest in advanced features like messaging,
music, GPS and cameras," Juti continued. "Our extended collaboration
with América Móvil is bringing an advanced multimedia experience to
users faster."
