Beats me why they needed to release this as a press release. This is nothing more than a change log really. To be honest when was the last time Nokia posted a change log? We get new versions of phone firmware, new versions of the PC Suite, and the only way to find out exactly what changed is to ask people to install it and give their impressions.

So hear me out on this Nokia. Instead of making such a big stink that you now work on two Sony phones, release detailed change logs for phone firmware and whatever software you release so users know what exactly has been fixed and what new features have been added.

Anyway here is a snippet of the press release:

Nokia (NYSE:NOK), a world leader in mobile communications, today announced an extension of its relationship with Sony Ericsson, bringing Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email to two additional Sony Ericsson devices, the M600 and P990. Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email allows mobile professionals to enjoy a fully synchronized, real-time email, calendar and contacts experience on their mobile devices. The solution is available immediately.

"With the addition of Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email on our devices, we’re providing more customers greater flexibility and choice for meeting their mobile needs," said Rikko Sakaguchi, SVP & Head of Portfolio and Platform Planning for Sony Ericsson. "Nokia’s enterprise-strength mobile solutions let customers simplify their business and personal lives with the increased mobility offered by an all-in-one device from us."

Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email provides comprehensive wireless communications capabilities for virtually any device built on any platform. In addition, Nokia now enables operators and enterprises to deliver advanced wireless communications services including wireless email, synchronization for calendars, contacts, files, data and applications, and highly secure device management software for Sony Ericsson users.

"This announcement reinforces Nokia’s commitment in delivering enterprise-grade mobile software across the broadest range of devices in the market," said Scott Cooper, vice president, Mobility Solutions, Nokia. "Nokia is happy to extend the value derived from intelligent mobility solutions to users of these Sony Ericsson devices."
