Emoze is a push email client for mobile phones. It works with a healthy list of symbian based devices. I’ve been using it as my only mobile email solution for the last week. For the last year I have used a Blackberry Pearl heavily and enjoyed the instant push email from 4 accounts.
Although not as robust as Blackberry Internet Service it can be an inexpensive alternative to the Blackberry Service Plan.
Emoze allows you to push your gmail account to your phone for free. You will have to download the mobile application and enter in your gmail account information and away you go. Don’t use gmail? Well you have two options then. Either get gmail and forward your current account to it or you can download the desktop application. This application allows you to forward your current pop email account to your phone. This solution requires you always have your PC on. This doesn’t work for me because I have a laptop and that laptop is a mac. Blackberry email is all controlled by a remote web based server for normal pop accounts. You can edit from the phone itself or from any computer with web access. Emoze pop needs a similar interface for the out of office business person.
Overall it’s a great service for the casual user. Had a few issues with losing connections, but it’s not clear if it’s the Emoze server or a Rogers issue. I wouldn’t proclaim it a threat to RIM or Windows Mobile anytime soon but who can complain at the low low price of free.
P.S. It supports attachments also. I wrote this whole post on my E62 and emailed it to my desktop as a .doc file.
