Nokia and Yahoo! team up for smartphone service
28 April 2005
Nokia and Yahoo! have announced that they have joined forces to launch a version of Yahoo!'s internet services for Nokia smartphone users.
Yahoo! data communications services such as email and Yahoo! entertainment services such as ring tones, wallpapers and downloadable games, will be available on through Nokia devices based on Series 60, the smartphone platform. The new offering also includes Yahoo! Search for Mobile.
Nokia claims that it is the first handset manufacturer with Symbian-based products to distribute Yahoo! services in such an array of European and Asian markets, including the UK.
Harry Santamki, Nokia Multimedia vice president of strategy and business development, said: "Our agreement with Yahoo! is a progressive step in facilitating the adoption of an online lifestyle: we are providing consumers with a familiar way of accessing the internet and Yahoo! email through their mobile devices, with the added convenience of content downloads on the go."
Juha Varelius, vice president and managing director of Yahoo! Mobile, added: "With consumers' lives across the world becoming increasingly centred around mobile communications, this new international relationship between Yahoo! and Nokia is a great way for people to have the Yahoo! Internet experience on their Nokia phone and benefit from a range of essential services on the go."
