Mail for Exchange available for Nokia Nseries devices
I have a couple of Nokia Nseries devices for testing and evaluation from the Nseries Blogger Relations program and early last year I was able to use an older version of Mail for Exchange on them to sync with my hosted Exchange account. Versions after 1.3 broke this functionality on Nseries devices so I then moved onto using RoadSync which has worked very well for me. I then read about Mail for Exchange officially supporting the Nseries devices from Symbian Freak. Unlike the screenshot Symbian Freak shows, the N95 I have is not showing the application in the Download! utility. I visited the Nokia business site and found that you can download and install Mail for Exchange 1.6 that is reported to work on Nseries devices. I plan to give it a try on the N95 and see how it does compared to RoadSync and then go with the best solution for me.
After using it for a couple of hours, I like the font size in Mail for Exchange better than what is present in RoadSync and I also like the email pop-up dialog boxes. It seems to be working flawlessly on the N95 and one big area to test is the memory consumption since RoadSync seemed to take up quite a bit when I tried running several other applications.
