Nokia let us know a few days ago that Nokia Messaging was updated with a patch. What I only cared about was whether it finally supported HTML email. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t. I’ll be sticking to Profimail on my phone for my email solutions until they support it.

Davis Fields, the product manager for Nokia Messaging, wrote,

This is a patch, not a whole new service release. HTML support and other improvements are coming in the big release in Spring. The E75 and E55 feature our first clients that include support for HTML, but don’t worry, we are close to our next release for older devices that includes support for HTML.

I think it means, “We want you to buy the E75 or E55 to get HTML email.” Why do I have a feeling Nokia will also make consumers wait much longer after the release of the E75 and E55 for HTML support on older devices? I hope I’m wrong.

This is the reason I prefer HTML with my email:

I still think Profimail is currently best email application on our Nokia phones, and suggest you try out the demo. I believe the demo lasts for 60 days, until it requires a license purchase of $25 with the coupon SAVE20NOW.
