As most smartphones have multiple email options (Exchange, POP, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) we decided to remove the email function in Soonr. You can still use email in other ways though. For example, you can now email a photo (or other attached documents) from your phone to your Soonr account. I know it isn't the same as having a direct way to manage Outlook in your desktop from your phone, but unfortunately most people didn't use that function so it was a call we had to make when allocating engineering resources. We wil make a note of your request and if we hear enough people used that function, we can lobby for it's return. I hope that you find all the other backup, access, and collaboration features of the new version of Soonr compelling additions to your business tools.

Typical Mac to bloat the work process... :-) Here are the steps for linux : 1. on command line, type : sudo mount -t davfs https://vip.soonr.com/webdav /media/soonr 2. when asked for credentials, type your soonr username and password ( for more detailed options, check the davfs website : http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.davfs ) It can also be done in most linux GUI's - for Ubuntu, select "connect to server" from the "places" menu and go from there /peter 3 steps ??

When someone logs into Soonr our servers will optimize for the phone type. We have seen over 800 phone types on our service. None of the users of Soonr who also logged in with their phone (Soonr also has a browser based version that is used from laptops and PCs) had the mobile login numbers of the iPhone. We have seen that iPhone users are now a full 25% of our service. That's more than any three other phone models combined. Our suspicion that iPhone users are just much more mobile web savvy has been supported by operators who report that iPhone users use the web 300% more than any other users. Symbian, WinMo, and Blackberry have all tried to create an application marketplace for their respective platforms, but we just haven't seen the amazing momentum and success as the Apple app store. It's a complex system to put together and Apple got it right, both for the users as well as the developers. I also have to mention that the UI and development environment of the iPhone is also very well done. With all that said, we do have partners who have asked us to look into the other platforms. Can't promise anything, but we are keeping our eyes and ears open. Also note that you can log into Soonr with any phone with a browser. It has been used extensively with both BB and WinMo.
