BlackBerry Support Is Coming Back To Eseries

According to an interview with Tom Furlong, head of Nokia Messaging, RIM is poised to bring BlackBerry support back to Eseries and hopefully other S60 smartphones soon. Late last year, Nokia announced that it would discontinue support of BlackBerry’s email service on its Eseries phones, which really sucked for alot of Eseries users. At the time, Nokia said the move was due to its own messaging venture, Nokia Email Beta, which was later renamed to Nokia Messaging.

In the interview, Furlong stated, ‘We are in the interim period of time when we have dropped support ourselves, and Blackberry is readying support for their service on Nokia devices.’ This is great news for our beloved E71.

    @ Ocsar,

    The U key not working is a result of software( I forget which prog) but the same thing happened to me. I would restart the phone, and it would be fine, until it crashed again.
