3 and OZ partner for mobile e-mail
Update: 3 Sweden's site mentions IM but not e-mail. The mystery thickens.
This sounds a bit better than it really is, but having it at all is of course a good thing.
This partnership will give users access to MSN Hotmail from their mobile phones, yet not MSN Messenger.
There are several free or almost-free services that provide both e-mail and IM to MSN, Yahoo!, AOL etc in the same gateway service, and where you only need to download one Java application to get access to all these services. OZ also has an IM solution, so I'm wondering why 3 didn't get that as well. Hopefully shortly.
As I have a 3 sub I will test this as soon as I can get my hands on it.
