Nokia Drops BlackBerry Connect Support On Eseries

July 30, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 4 Comments

In an interesting if not odd move, Nokia has asked all of their Nokia Eseries customers using BlackBerry Connect to move fully over to the BlackBerry and to stop buying devices from Nokia.

I guess that this isn’t exactly what Nokia said, but, they did stop supporting BlackBerry Connect and even said that RIM is now a competitor.

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.

Now, I know that Nokia is a giant handset manufacturer, especially outside of the United States, however, this move all but ensures that they will never again sell a device to a business user in the U.S. that works for a company that has standardized on BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

    1 of my former HH’s, a Nokia 7110, satisfying well, i replaced by RIM because of the keyboard (emailing) and other advantages. In the meantime, an important cy came out to fall down (MS). I would expect to see RIM, connected fairly tight, to slide too, except when they embrace OS’ce
    (Not “OS’ce”) . I am yet unaware which they trust more, ms or lx.
    I suppose RIM would speed up a lot with lx and time is money? (Ms seems to maintain reversely) so why a pity for Nokia? I suppose them to keep HH’s clean enough to work for a nice time-savingspeed (but i knwo RIM tries too keeping time-loosing garbage away).
