What’s the latest low-bandwidth email application for java mobile phones and symbian mobile phones? Flurry mail is sadly no more.
Thanks
As I moved to Symbian S60V3 phone for quite a while, I am not sure what is the best Java ME email application now.
Now, I am using System Seven as the email client on my Nokia N82, it is quite good. Here is my review about it.
I hear that System Seven also has J2ME version, but I didn’t try it myself.
Morange may be a good choice. Gmail mobile version is also nice.
Thanks man. I’ve used Gmail Mobile in the past and it consumes quite some bandwidth. Morange never worked on my phone due to memory issues but I’ll give it another try when I buy my next phone in 2 weeks time. I’ll be getting Nokia E63.
Thanks again.
I also have a Nokia E63. If you will have this phone then try System Seven: http://www.seven.com/
If you don’t want to send a registration SMS to UK, install it via WiFi with the offline mode and delete the unsent SMS afterward.
I don’t get it, the homepage shows something about the company has been merged, thus no link to the software. Similar goes to the getjar link.
