Good news for Verizon’s Get It Now customers, as the carrier launched Mobile E-Mail service. The new service also involves a new OZ-powered application, which allows users to access popular email services such as Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, AIM Mail and Hotmail. The service also works with major ISPs and even allows users to access their non-web-based email accounts by connecting to the POP3 or IMAP servers — in total, users can access up to 10 email accounts. Finally, with Mobile E-Mail users can use their mobile phone’s address book and receive regular alert notification of new e-mails.
At the moment, Mobile E-mail is available on select Get It Now handsets, including enV by LG, the MOTORAZR V3m, MOTORAZR V3c, the LG VX8300 and the Chocolate by LG for $5.00 monthly access, and the service is expected to be available on additional handsets in the coming weeks. Verizon’s “America’s Choice Premium” subscribers can access Mobile E-mail for no additional charge or airtime charges.
There you have it. An elegant email solution from Verizon — or at least it looks like one.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
