Blackberry and Nokia have ended their two collaborations for Nokia E series handset. It must be a bad news for the Business man. New E series such as the E71, E66, etc will not be receiving a working Blackberry Connect application. There are still some options for receiving push (or rather, near-push) email on your S60-powered smartphone, though.
A lovely sentence from Nokia’s Simon Ainslie ?RIM are a competitor and have done a reasonable job in a space that is traditionally ours, so it’s no great surprise that we see this as an opportunity to give consumers a proper choice on what email solution they want.”
It is welcome for everyone for the peek they gave at the market, but now they are going to make you look like a fool. It is given the Blacberry’s popularity among businesspeople and government officials. It is interesting how Nokia intends to regain the market that is ‘traditionally’ theirs, and by offering consumers a ‘proper’ choice.
Do you use Blackberry Connect on your E series? If not, how do you get your email on your S60-powered phone? Gmail IMAP with the built-in messaging is sufficient for your needs.
