In addition, they also include support for Java push mail solutions provided by third parties and leading email standards, such as POP/IMAP. With the extension of email beyond the realm of the smartphone, Sony Ericsson can now offer company purchasers and decision makers a broader range of mobile professional solutions, enabling people to use business hours more efficiently and reduce internal support costs related to local PC-sync.
