Nokia fights RIM/Good
Nokia introduces its own mobile corporate mail solution called Nokia Business Center.
...only now beginning to expand beyond select professions such as lawyers and investment bankers into the business mainstream.
Finally! Everyone with a mobile phone and an email account (which is pretty much everyone with a white-collar job) have use for this. Even so very few are utilizing any such service. Costs might be one reason. Arguable productivity gains might be another, but I would certainly love to be able to check on my emails at any time on trips, in customer meetings etc, without having to start my notebook, log in, dial up, log in again, etc etc. Of course the phone must also have a full keypad. 0-9 keypads might be enough for SMS, but not for business communication.
RIM ... reported in June that there were 3.1 million BlackBerry users, a gain of nearly 600,000 in a three-month period.
Rather steep curve.
