November 30, 2007 Ticket to ride Posted by Dean at 07:27 PM | Categories: Nokia Business Software


Let Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite digitize your travel itinerary. The Travel Info icon on the desktop is your embarkation point for all your travel related information. Just enter the basics of your next business trip in the Calendar of your Web portal of your Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite server. Use the Trip tab to enter your flight info and the Appointment Plus tab for your hotel, meetings, and any restaurant reservations you have.

Here’s where the magic happens. Travel Info does more than just repeat back what you’ve put in – through the Nokia Intellisync server, the Travel Info feature goes and finds your destination’s local weather; driving directions between all your appointments, restaurant reservations, and your hotel; and flight info details, all based on the itinerary that you entered. Then, with just a click you’ll always have all the updated information about your trip

Anyone who uses it wonders how they ever lived without it. In fact, some start using it for appointments around town instead of waiting for a business trip.

Now your turn – what mobile apps do you use for travel information (directions, weather, flight) while on the road? Please post a comment here.

August 03, 2007 How would you improve mobile email? Posted by Dean at 04:31 PM | Categories: Nokia Business Software

All next week I'll be in Tampere, Finland meeting with people about the future of mobile email. I'll bring my own personal opinions on what's good and bad about mobile email and lots of data on successes and failures of products past and current. But, there's one thing I'm missing. And, here's where you come in.

I'm missing direct feedback from end users of mobile email. And, when I say direct I mean unfiltered by market research, focus groups, and product requirements documents.

So, what do you love about mobile email? What is frustrating? And, what do you hate about it?

When do you use mobile email most? Where? How would you improve your mobile email experience?

Also, assuming there were no technical barriers to overcome, what would you want your mobile email experience to be like? How would you interact with it? What features would you like to see? And how would your mobile email best integrate into everything else your device does?

If you ever felt your input on something was unheard or undervalued, here's your chance. I'll include the comments posted here in the discussions next week.

The stage is yours. The microphone is in your hands.

I'm listening.

May 01, 2007 Nokia means business Posted by Dean at 04:47 PM | Categories: Nokia Business Software

Sure, everyone knows Nokia for its amazing phones. But look a little closer and you’ll see that Nokia produces a lot of excellent software as well.

For the category of mobile business, Nokia has a whole software group inside its Enterprise Solutions business unit. This group produces Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite (wireless email, PIM and file synchronization, and device management) and Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco (VoIP for mobile devices), and other business-oriented applications.

You can find out more about Nokia’s Enterprise Solutions phones and software at Nokiaforbusiness.com. There is also another entry point for the same site formatted specifically for phone Web browsers at Nokiaforbusiness.mobi.

Full disclosure: I work in the Enterprise Solution software group, so sue me if ramble on too long about the cool products we make. On second thought, don’t sue, just post your comments on the blog. ;-)
