Microsoft and Nokia Released a Corporate Client

According to the official press release, Microsoft and Nokia have released a corporate client Communicator Mobile for Nokia.

Communicator Mobile application will show who of the user’s colleagues is online and will give the smartphone owner an opportunity to communicate with multiple methods of communication. Thus, a user can send SMS, e-mails, instant messages and make phone calls from one client.

Owners of Nokia E Series, E72 and E52 smartphones, will get the first opportunity to set the client. The Communicator may be downloaded on Ovi Store. This application is free for the users of Office Communications Server 2007.

This was the first decision made within the frameworks of partnership between Microsoft and Nokia. The announcement about the creation of an alliance to develop new applications was made by companies in August 2009.

At that time it was reported that the companies plan to create mobile versions of Microsoft Office applications. The development of business applications and products for joint work for smartphones based on Symbian OS was also announced.

Previously, Microsoft applications were available only for the  smartphones based on WinMo OS. However, due to  the lower popularity of the mobile platform Microsoft had to promote its solutions on other operating systems.

Thus, Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile package can be installed on a number of Nokia smartphones running Symbian S40 and S60 operating systems, as well as for one of the Motorola devices- Motorola Razr.
