The Symbian Google Client is a program that integrates with your devices idle screen, that is if your device offers a "Ctrl" or "Pencil/Edit" key, or via the application launcher found on Symbian based devices. By typing in searches in the provided box Google can access the internet, find your queries and display the necessary information in a mobile formatted display for easy access.

Users can also access their Microsoft Exchange Server Accounts, while handling both POP and IMAP account alike. The program is currently free as its running in Beta mode, but charges will apply when it launches as a full version based program. You can find out more at Nokia Email.
