Then the article is inaccurate. It keeps referring to "mobile phones".

Yes, I see the relation although when I posted here I was keeping in mind the NIT was profitable for Nokia. I had just read that in another thread.
Oh well, some new Nokia phones are about to be released... I'm excited!

I was excited about the N96... but I know that it'll never get subsidized and I'm not too enthusiastic about paying 800+ USD for a phone I'll replace in 13 months or so - that's how many months each and every Nokia phone I've had prior have lasted, give or take a month.
With that... if Nokia continues to lose mobile phone share, their fringe markets budgeting might shrink. And that... sucks. I love my 770, and I love my N810.

I have an old Nokia phone as my private phone, but we don't use Nokia at work. The work phones are all of another brand, with a few exceptions. Those exception Nokia are mostly a pain, which is the main reason we don't all use them.
To make it short: It isn't possible to just dump the whole corp. contacts list (as a vcard file) into Nokia phones, they can only take contacts one-by-one, which is simply not an option for a corporation. Fix that, Nokia, and you'll have lots of enterprise customers. Even better, support categories (category=vcard file name, as on E.g. Palm), so that it's possible to scratch&reload by category and people don't have to suffer losing their private contacts.

Vcard file. Not Outlook. If you use Outlook you're maybe OK, but not everyone is using Outlook. Vcard is the open format, and Vcard should be supported. Nokia kind of supports it, but it only reads the first contact (ie. it can only handle one contact per vcard file, which is insane).

).It's a pity about the way contacts is implemented on the NIT, but at least it can, as you correctly say, read more than one contact. For the phones, even if you can sync with desktop Outlook, how do you get the contacts into (desktop) outlook in the first place.. last time I checked, it can only read one entry too. It should be a very simple thing to fix, one should think, but it's been like that for years (Nokia and Outlook both).
