Google is more and more interested in the idea of offering its users that are on the road the same search capabilities that they enjoy at home. And in pursuit of this goal, it has established an agreement with mobile network operator T-Mobile, on of the most important players on the mobile services market.

T-Mobile and Google Inc. will be working in close cooperation in the future to provide the new web'n'walk services. The objective is to improve user-friendliness, increase the advantages and boost the speed of Internet access when using the net via T-Mobile cell phones.

As part of the partnership, the Google search engine will be preset as the Internet homepage on the T-Mobile phones. Another facet of the partnership between the two companies will be joint marketing activities aimed at high-level marketing of mobile access to the free Internet.

By providing the Google search engine, T-Mobile is giving its customers who access the Internet from a cell phone using the new web'n'walk service the ideal starting point for excursions into the World Wide Web. Google reaches over eight billion web pages throughout the world and automatically displays the key search results first. That way, users obtain nearly instant access to the information they want.

The homepage with the Google search engine and other useful links will initially be available on Sidekick II, MDA compact, MDA III, the new model of SDA and the Nokia models 6680 9300 and 9500.
