Nokia launches platform for push email, and more E-mail

Nokia has announced Nokia Business Center, a new software solution enabling collaborative business applications for the mobile world, starting with push email, a field presently dominated by Research in Motion's BlackBerry. Nokia Business Center is "designed to expand the universe of potential mobile users by leveraging the broad availability of standard mobile phones and by providing a two-tier client strategy."
The standard client will be licensed on an unlimited basis with each Nokia Business Center server. A more richly featured professional client will be available for a minimal upgrade fee. The product is a Java-based solution that can be deployed on any Java MIDPI 2.0-capable phone, once certified by Nokia.
Initially, Nokia Business Center will support mobile email over the Nokia 9300 smartphone, Nokia 9500 Communicator, as well as the Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, and Nokia 6682 integrating with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, followed shortly by support for Lotus Notes and Domino and an expanded range of Nokia certified devices.
The standard Nokia Business Center client offers the ability to compose, read and delete email, manage local folders, and provides support for working offline. The professional client version also offers "a rich, graphical email experience similar to using desktop email". Other professional client version features include support for handling meeting requests, sorted views, full attachment support, the ability to access any employee's contact information from the company's corporate directory, the ability to search local folders, and more.
Nokia Business Center will be available in the Americas and EMEA in the fourth quarter of 2005. Pilots will begin in other markets during the fourth quarter.
