Nokia Messaging now supports Hotmail and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will enable the Nokia Messaging push email service

Nokia today launched new features for the Nokia Messaging service. The most important novelty is the compatibility with Windows Live Hotmail (previously known as MSN Hotmail).

Nokia Messaging is currently free to download and set-up, and supports the world's most popular email accounts - Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL Mail - and accounts from thousands of other email providers. Easy to use, it enables access of up to 10 personal email accounts on a Nokia device, and through one single icon. Once Nokia Messaging is set-up, email accounts can be added to the service directly on the phone, as well as via the Nokia Messaging website

With the addition of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia Messaging will be available on 20 different device models worldwide, including the recently announced Nokia E75 which is the first device to come preloaded with Nokia Messaging, Nokia E71 - the world's slimmest qwerty device, Nokia E63, Nokia E66 and Nokia N79. More Nokia device models, including the Nokia E55, Nokia N97 and Nokia N86 8MP, will support Nokia Messaging when they begin shipping.
