14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia and Microsoft will bring a new suite of Windows Live services on the mobile phones coming from the handset producer. This will enable users to enjoy the most evolved solutions for accessible social interactions.
The Windows Live services have already been available for the Windows Mobile 6 operating system. Microsoft and Nokia have now joined forces in order to bring a new and more evolved version of it. People will be able to easier manage contacts, mail, messenger, phone calls, text messaging, camera, gallery and browsing all these with only one solution.
It will be available for Nokia S60 users in more than 10 countries. Starting with next year, the list will expand, also enclosing owners of Nokia S40 handsets. Users will now have the chance of using Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Contacts and Windows Live Spaces.
"By taking advantage of the extensive and agile distribution network that Nokia has, we have the opportunity to bring the power of Windows Live services to Nokia devices, thus ensuring our customers can take their most important online information with them on the go", said Jari Pasanen, vice-president, Strategy and Technology, Nokia Multimedia.
"The alliance will enable a much broader group of consumers to experience the benefits Windows Live has to offer, easily connecting them to the information and people that matter most from virtually anywhere", said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of the Online Services Business from Microsoft.
The service will come at first as a free trial, with a monthly fee to be added later on. Windows Live services can be downloaded by those who own Nokia N73, N76, N80 Internet Edition, N93i, and the N95 multimedia computers only if they are in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, UK, Sweden, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
