E-Commerce Times Talkback

Nokia and IBM are teaming up to bring corporate e-mail, calendar, address book and messaging functions to mobile workers. Nokia's move is its latest attempt to compete with Research In Motion, maker of the BlackBerry e-mail device. The Finland-based phonemaker signed a similar deal with Microsoft in September. The deal with Big Blue will let Nokia smartphone owners access IBM Lotus Notes e-mail starting next month.
Nokia has more than 40 different smartphone models that can use the new Lotus Notes service.
