Oracle and Nokia today announced the launch of Oracle Sales for Handhelds and Mobile Field Service applications on Nokia Series 80 devices, including the Nokia 9300 and 9300i Smartphones and the Nokia 9500 Communicator. As the press release says, the new solutions will enable mobile workers to use one device to access all critical business applications, as well as voice communications, while out of the office. The two companies also announced the availability of the Oracle Database Lite 10g Release 2 for the Symbian operating system.
Oracle’s support for the Symbian OS will deliver the benefits of Oracle Grid technology, including continuous and secure data and application availability from the enterprise to the mobile worker. The integrated solution will enable enterprise applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM) and sales force automation, to extend to the growing number of Symbian OS-based Smartphones worldwide.
To further improve their long-standing relationship and enabling tighter collaboration between the two companies’ developer communities, Nokia has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and Oracle has become a member of Forum Nokia PRO Enterprise Zone.
The Oracle and Nokia solutions will be exhibited on Oracle’s stand in Hall 1 – D100 at the 3GSM World Congress taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from 13-16 February 2006.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
