Motorola today announces Good Mobile Messaging 5. Good Mobile Messaging 5 (Good 5) incorporates multiple new features that vastly improve the mobile experience both for business users and IT professionals by: helping enable mobile users to get things done more easily; providing greater personalization; and strengthening security and manageability. The new release will incorporate all of the handheld security capabilities previously available separately though the company’s Good Mobile Defense product.

Get Things Done More Easily. Mobile professionals receive so much email that it’s often difficult to find the information they’re looking for on their smartphone and complete tasks from start to finish. Good 5 introduces innovative email and PIM capabilities that help enable mobile users to easily find what they need when they need it and get work done. New features include:

• Group and find by conversation and sender: sorts and groups emails by conversation thread and/or sender, helping users to easily pinpoint important messages and save time by filing and/or deleting an entire thread or group
• Complete calendaring: helps invite participants to a meeting, provide real-time visibility into their free/busy status; and automatically suggests and reserves conference rooms based on past preferences and availability
• Edit and send documents: securely accesses corporate intranets using Good Mobile Intranet (GMI); enables downloads of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF documents directly to the smartphone;
• Dial without password: dials a contact from a password-protected phone without requiring users to enter the password--all while keeping email and contacts data secure
• Third-party access to contacts: option to provide third-party applications, such as voice dialing and SMS, with access to Good contacts, helping to enhance device usability

Good 5 introduces a number of new customizable features that personalize the mobile experience:

• Mobile RSS reader and subscription manager
• Priority mail: helps quickly identify messages that are important to individuals based on their unique preferences; defines and distinctly marks priority mail by sender, distribution list, who’s in the to: or cc: fields, and other user-selected criteria
• Personalized notifications: assigns unique sounds and alerts to priority emails, so that users are less likely to miss the emails that matter most

Good 5 provides more control by giving IT professionals all of the advanced device and data protection capabilities previously available only through the Good Mobile Defense product, through a single-management console and complete over-the-air controls.
Good 5 is expected to be available in September through cellular operators worldwide, certified value-added resellers, and directly through Motorola Good Technology Group.
