Microsoft and Nokia announce launch of Communicator Mobile app for Nokia Eseries
Microsoft and Nokia announced today the first fruits of their labor.. err I mean alliance with the launch of the Microsoft Communicator Mobile application for Nokia devices.
The new app directly connects with a company’s communication system to help streamline mobile communications and collaboration among co-workers. Users of Communicator Mobile will be able to see their colleague’s availability and then determine the best method to get in touch with them – whether it’s through IM, texting, email, or a simple phone call.
Your colleague’s names and current status are also embedded into the device’s contacts application which means you can use contact cards to update status, start/join IM sessions, and of course initiate phone calls.
Owners of Symbian-based Eseries smartphones (initially the E72 and E52) can download the English version of the app now from Nokia’s Ovi Store. You can expect the Communicator Mobile app to be pre-installed on select Nokia smartphones in the future as well as the recently announced E5.
