In addition, they also include support for Java push mail solutions provided by third parties and leading email standards, such as POP/IMAP. With the extension of email beyond the realm of the smartphone, Sony Ericsson can now offer company purchasers and decision makers a broader range of mobile professional solutions, enabling people to use business hours more efficiently and reduce internal support costs related to local PC-sync.

Mobile messaging - the ability to send and receive email anytime, anywhere - is fast becoming a vital form of everyday communication in today’s high-speed, 24/7 international business environment. Companies and individuals are having to adapt to changing ways of doing business, and respond to the growing need for greater mobility and flexibility. Sony Ericsson phones with Exchange ActiveSync provide instant access to email messages wherever you are. They also include a remote device-wipe feature, which allows company administrators to remotely send a command to a lost or stolen phone that will erase all PIM-data (email, calendar, contacts) as well as account settings.

Sony Ericsson’s line up of Exchange ActiveSync enabled phones includes Open OS smartphones such as the P990, M600, W950, the recently announced Sony Ericsson P1 and today’s Symbian-based W960 Walkman phone. In the feature phone segment of the portfolio the line-up includes the Z750, the K850i Cyber-shot and the W750 Walkman phones. All these models provide secure wireless and Direct Push synchronization of corporate email, calendar and contacts from Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Exchange Server 2007.

Exchange ActiveSync works with all types of mobile communication networks, including GSM, GPRS, UMTS and HSDPA.

The Sony Ericsson P1 will be available in selected markets from Q3 2007. The K850i Cyber-shot phone and W750/W960 Walkman phones will be available from Q4 2007.
