Cingular Launches Mobile IM and Email Services

No more big heavy Blackberry needed with Cingular’s new mobile instant messaging and e-mail services.

Mobile Burn has the details on the new service for Cingular wireless customers.

The mobile email service consists of a downloadable Java-based client, and gives access to AOL and AIM email, MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and SBC Yahoo! Mail. The client is provided by OZ, and sending and receiving email is charged based on the data transferred. The Cingular mail service is available on the Motorola V180, V220, V400, V551, and RAZR V3.

Also based around a downloadable Java client, Cingular’s mobile instant messaging service gives simultaneous access to AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, and MSN Messenger services. The instant messaging service has been developed by Comverse and Thumbspeed, and gives an easy to use tabbed interface. Instant messaging is charged as SMS text messages. The instant messaging service is available on the Nokia 6230, Nokia 6620, Motorola V180, Motorola V220, Motorola V400, Motorola V551, Motorola RAZR V3, Sony Ericsson Z500 , and Sony Ericsson S710a handsets.

The best part of it all is that it is free to download over Cingular’s Media Mall.
