SAN FRANCISCO/HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia, the world's largest maker of mobile phones, said it was launching a corporate e-mail system to allow workers at almost any level to send and receive mail from their mobiles.

Nokia Business Center, as the new e-mail system is to be known, seeks to bridge the gap between the world's 650 million corporate e-mail accounts and the elite of about 10 million who have mobile access to their business e-mail inboxes.

The Finnish group, long expected to push into a market which brought success to Research in Motion's (RIM) Blackberry devices, said it wanted to make e-mail more cost-effective and available on a wider range of phones.

"We are trying to bring e-mail to the masses by taking it out of the realm of just CEOs and the highly paid sales force," said Dave Grannan, head of Nokia's e-mail business.
