The hallmark guarantees mobile professionals a high-quality mobile email experience, and will help accelerate a mass adoption of business-ready push email services on Symbian smartphones.

This benchmark is designed to shorten the time required to roll-out push email services and accelerate the anticipated widespread adoption of push email on Symbian smartphones to enterprises and mobile workers.
The Visto Mobile platform, employed by operators around the world to deliver secure, easy-to-use email on the broadest range of business-ready handsets, is the first mobile email solution to achieve this accreditation.
“We are pleased to be the first vendor to receive the “Symbian approved” accreditation for our mobile email offering. It helps demonstrates how Visto champions mobile push email by providing a secure email experience that is easy to use and able to run on a wide choice of smartphones,” said Jean Tripier, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Visto. “Visto regards ease-of-use as the most important dimension in driving the mass market adoption of business mobile email.

Symbian is pleased to recognise Visto for their efforts in being the first push email vendor to achieve this benchmark.”
