Nokia-Microsoft partnership bears first fruit: Communicator Mobile comes to E52 and E72

Last time we used “Nokia” and “Communicator” in the same sentence, we were talking about a giant QWERTY clamshell with roots dating back to the mid ’90s — but yeah, that’s most definitely not what looking at here. Instead, we’re seeing the first results of Nokia’s newfound friendship with Microsoft, a build of Communicator Mobile that’s all set up to run on the S60-based E52 and E72. Granted, an enterprise instant messaging utility isn’t something we can all use, but that’s just as well since it’s limited to just two devices in Nokia’s range at the moment; eventually, it’ll be preinstalled on “select” devices and be available to a broader selection of phones already in the lineup. This is awesome, guys — now let’s get cracking on Office, shall we?
