issue say that E90 will be the last Nokia handset that support blackberry connect.

oh my god!! i still in love with nokia blackberry service.

I heard this, as well.

The E71 seems made to out Blackberry Blackberry. I recognize that Microsoft Push has gotten much better and has risen to the level of a competing standard, but many corporations believe in Blackberry, Blackberry, and did I say Blackberry. I don't know what the licensing fee is for Blackberry Connect, but they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Cant you just run the E series BBC client on any future E series phone? (IE: E71)

E51 did not support BBC as well, but the E90's client ran perfectly fine on the E51. It may work for the E71 as well. However, like mentioned, Nokia is now pushing its Mail For Exchange client for seamless integration with MS exchange.

You can download BlackBerry Connect clients for all E-series devices at http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com. The next evolution of BlackBerry Connect will be "Virtual BlackBerry". RIM announced it sometime last year for Windows Mobile and I expect that we will also see it for Nokia/Symbian devices.
