Rapid uptake in developing world and over 650,000 accounts created on
device
Espoo, Finland - With over one million accounts activated in just
over six months, Ovi Mail is quickly establishing itself as the email
account for the developing world. Specifically designed for on device
set-up, people can get their first email address and create and
manage their accounts - no PC needed.
"More than just reaching a company milestone, this proves to us that
there is a real appetite in the developing world for these types of
tailored services," said Tom Furlong, head of Consumer Messaging at
Nokia. "For first-time email users, Ovi Mail provides a digital
identity and we are thrilled by its rapidly rising adoption rate."
The inspiration for Ovi Mail came from the growing number of people,
mostly in developing countries, without access to a PC. The top five
countries for Ovi Mail subscribers are India, Indonesia, Mexico,
Russia and South Africa. Since its inception in December 2008, Ovi
Mail is available in more than 180 countries and supports 20*
languages.

spam filters to block unwanted emails. It is also accessible from a
broad range of Nokia devices with the Nokia 2330 classic, Nokia 2630
and Nokia 5310 XpressMusic being some of the most popular devices
used.
