Send and receive email from Nokia phones

A new java based system known ad Nokia Business Center has been ready to release from Nokia.

Nokia Business Center delivers applications to mobile workers who need to stay informed, aware and prepared. It provides a powerful combination of voice and business applications for employees on a single, converged device.

The first release of Nokia Business Center supports mobile email for Microsoft Exchange, followed by support for Lotus Domino and an expanded range of J2ME MIDP 2.0 devices certified by Nokia. [via Nokia site]

It seeks to bridge the gap between the world's 650 million corporate e-mail accounts and the elite of about 10 million who have mobile access to their business e-mail in-boxes.
Nokia's e-mail system comes in two modes. A standard version gives office staff basic read/write access to e-mail.

A professional version integrates directly into a company's corporate network directory, giving people direct access to their e-mail on their mobile device in the same way they would expect to use it on their office computer. It also allows the mobile worker to handle hefty e-mail attachments.

There are two barriers to making corporate e-mail available to a wider audience of office workers, one technical and one economic, said Mary McDowell, general manager of Nokia's enterprise solutions business unit.

The technical problem is solved by taking advantage of the widely used Java standard, which applies to most smart phones. The economics is based on giving away mass-market access to the e-mail system at little cost.

The standard version comes free when a company purchases a server license, Grannan said. Each server license covers 400 people and is priced at $2,232 (1,800 euros).

The professional version requires a company to pay an additional one-time fee, per user, of $68 (55 euros), giving them a perpetual license for each office worker. The cost per user for BlackBerry licenses ranges from two to four times as much. [via CNET]
