SEVEN's Mobile Email Recognized for Significant Impact on Global Mobility Market

Redwood City, Calif., USA - (December 6, 2005) – SEVEN today announced that its Always-On Mail won the annual Forum Nokia PRO award for best S60 enterprise application. SEVEN was selected in recognition of its leadership in the development of the mobile enterprise email market over the past 12 months.

An international panel of mobile industry journalists and analysts with input from Nokia representatives chose SEVEN for its ability to innovate, overcome competitive challenges, exceed business forecasts, enter new geographic markets, obtain new enterprise and operator customers, drive adoption and set itself apart as a leader. SEVEN is the only mobile email developer to win a Nokia PRO Forum 2005 award.

"Forum Nokia PRO was created to support developers of next-generation software for Series 40, S60 and Series 80 access devices. It is PRO members such as SEVEN that develop the applications we need to ensure our customers get the best mobile user experience they can," said Nasser Iravani, director, Forum Nokia PRO, Americas. "We have worked with SEVEN for several years and have watched the company not just grow, but contribute to the mass adoption of mobile applications. It is therefore an honour to present them with this well deserved accolade."

In the last 12 months, SEVEN dramatically increased its global footprint and its market availability. Seventy-six operators and service providers across 47 countries have chosen to offer SEVEN-powered mobile email services to their business and/or consumer subscribers.

SEVEN worked closely with Nokia during the development of its application to ensure compatibility with Nokia S60 and Series 80 devices.

"We appreciate Nokia's recognition. SEVEN has benefited immeasurably from the advanced technical, business development and marketing support offered to us as a Forum Nokia PRO member. We look forward to continuing our cooperation with Nokia to optimize SEVEN's software for Nokia's leading handsets and provide an elegant, powerful yet easy to use mobile email experience," said Paul Hedman, Managing Director, SEVEN.
