Ovi , the gateway, is Nokia’s Suite of applications offering a range of services including Maps on OVI , Share on OVI  , Contacts on OVI and MAIL on OVI.

OVI MAIL is part of Nokia’s initiative that the next billion users will have their first email experience via a Cell Phone and Nokia is there to assist them with a free one GB OVI MAIL account . As part of introduction , OVI MAIL is already available on S40 phone but S60 were lagging behind .

However I’ve discovered that through Nokia Email client , another free push email service from Nokia , I can use my OVI Mail account on my E71 , just add OVI Mail login and password on your Nokia Email account at email.nokia.com and it will do the rest .

I’ve also tried obtaining it’s SMTP settings through MS Outlook 2007 ( it has auto detection feature ) but unable to do so .

Nokia’s OVI Suite got another web addition , Mail on Ovi available at mail.ovi.com

all you need is an OVI account , created free , courtesy Nokia and you are on your way to 1gb of email account , not much compared to Gmail and Hotmail bust Nokia is planning to integrate OVI Mail to it’s phones and like Microsoft Passport OVI account works across Nokia services , I’m already using it on my S40 phone and waiting for the S60 client , till then I’ll use the web interface .
