Dataviz has released a public beta of Roadsync 3.0 for Symbian 9.1 based Nokia S60 3rd Edition devices which supports some new Exchange 2007 server Activesync Mobility features. This beta is to be used only if you have Exchange 2007 in your environment. Key Exchange 2007 server specific features include:

E-mail Flags
With flags it is easy to triage e-mail from a mobile device and flag it for later action. No longer will users have to go back to their office and re-manage their inbox in Outlook or OWA. Messages will already be properly flagged and organized for the appropriate follow-up action. Flagging in Exchange 2007 will support both the flagging models of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007.

Faster Message Retrieval
Exchange 2007 introduces a new, more effective ?fetch? approach for messages. The device can simply and immediately fetch the pieces of data, such as an attachment or the end of a long message thread, instead of initiating a full synchronization. This provides faster and more efficient access to important data, keeping user’s right in line with their message and thoughts.

Online Mailbox Search
Information can now be quickly found from a mobile device using the search capability of Exchange ActiveSync. When executing an over-the-air search from a mobile device, the user’s entire Exchange mailbox is queried and the search results can be rapidly retrieved to the device for use. This capability enables access to information sent or received days, weeks, or even months before, regardless of the storage limitations or synchronization preferences of the mobile device.

SharePoint and UNC File Access
When a user receives a link to a file on Windows SharePoint Services site or a UNC file share while using a mobile device, Exchange Server 2007 uses LinkAccess to retrieve and display the document, no VPN required. Linked SharePoint files will act just like ordinary file attachments with the corresponding downloading, viewing and editing options, thus expanding access to critical corporate information while working on the go.

Other features like HTML e-mail, AutoDiscovery, Out of the Office Assistant, Improved Calendaring and Tighter management and policy integration are planned for a future release
