Remember back last summer when Nokia dropped support of BlackBerry Connect on their E-Series devices when they started working with Microsoft and IBM on corporate mobile email? Well it looks like RIM heard the cries of all the Nokia users that had come to rely on what many deem to be the best corporate email solution in the industry and are now preparing their own support of Nokia devices.

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.
