Ovi Mail now shares Address Book with Ovi Contacts

   

 

In what I can only describe as “A long time coming“, Ovi Mail got an update today, and now shares it’s address book with Ovi Contacts.

Here’s a bit from the Ovi Blog post :

Mail is now integrated with Ovi Contacts. This means Mail no longer has a separate address book for contacts, which means that you only have to maintain one copy of your contacts across Ovi services. Also, you now have the possibility to sync your device phonebook with Ovi Contacts and Ovi Mail.

So the next time you log into Ovi Mail, you’ll see the prompt above, which will inform you of the change. Click on “Go to My Inbox” to proceed from there.

Also from the BetaLabs post :

The following use case is now supported with the changes in Ovi Mail 2.0:

Save a contact and view from device:

  1. User opens an email from a friend in Ovi Mail on the web and sends a reply back
  2. Ovi Mail shows a dialog box asking if he wants to add the person to his address book.  User says yes and fills in the entries and clicks on ‘Add contact’
  3. Within a few minutes, the new contact appears in Ovi Contacts on the web because Ovi Mail now is integrated with Ovi Contacts
  4. User decides to sync his phone to get the newly added contact on his phone. User can either initiate a sync from device or from Ovi Contacts on the web to sync his contacts
  5. After the sync completes, user views the Phonebook on the device and the name of the friend and the newly added email address appear in the Phonebook on the phone

Ovi Mail also now has Arabic support, and 6+ million total users which is pretty good considering it launched about a year ago. I think.

All I can say is, kudos to the Ovi Mail team. This really was a long time coming, and something that should have been there in Ovi Mail from the beginning.

If you’d like to try Ovi Mail on your device, check it out over on the Ovi Mail page on BetaLabs.
