Telenor eyeing mobile email in Sweden

Norwegian telecom operator Telenor said it would start offering Microsoft's Windows Mobile Email service to its subscribers in Sweden, a Dow Jones report said

The report said the service was based on the operating system Windows Mobile 5.0, and meant that users could access their Microsoft Office Outlook directly through their mobile phones.

The company said emails would be streamed to the telephone in real time without the user having to manually check for messages, according to the report.

The service would cost SEK140 (14.9 euros) a month, and would include 50 megabytes of data traffic, the report said.
