NEW YORK - Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of cell phones, Monday said it would stop marketing its own system for corporate e-mail access, to focus on making its devices work with systems from Microsoft Corp., IBM Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.
The move represents Nokia dropping the business model that Research in Motion Ltd., maker of the BlackBerry e-mail phones, turned into a success. RIM provides an end-to-end system, with BlackBerry-branded servers deployed inside a company's firewall that relay e-mail to the phones.
"With its sights firmly fixed on consumer internet services," Nokia said it would transfer its own behind-the-firewall technologies to its consumer e-mail service.
Earlier this month, Nokia expanded the range of devices for which it provides free software that connects to Microsoft's Exchange e-mail servers.
Also Monday, Nokia said it is in the "advanced stages of discussions" to sell its security appliances business to a financial investor.
Shares of Nokia lost 68 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $19 in premarket activity.
