Nokia launches Email beta -- an admission that S60's email app could use some work?

So Nokia has officially launched the beta process for an app it simply calls "Email," a replacement for S60's in-built Messaging application for managing -- you guess it -- email. Besides a true push service and a slightly slicker interface than what we're used to, it doesn't seem to offer terribly much that the standard client doesn't, and what's more, it sounds like Nokia intends to charge for the pleasure of using it once it exits beta. It'd better be crazy cheap, crazy impressive, or preferably, a combination of the two by the time it launches -- otherwise, Messaging will continue work just fine for us, thankyouverymuch.

Wouldn't Nokia offering its own push-service be something to pay for? Or are those generally free?

I've never had push-email, so I don't know if it's something people generally pay for.

I don't recall anybody complaining about paying for Apple's lessthanbeta mobileme...

I have been using this service since it started, works quite well. My only wish is that it was integrated into the the Messaging area. Seven does it, can't see why Nokia's wouldn't. Otherwise, not too bad.
