14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia and Yahoo decided to expand their relationship in order to include Yahoo!Go for Mobile 2.0 on Nokia's wide range of mobile phones.
The software will be available for mobile phones operating on the Series 40 platform and was developed by the Nokia-Yahoo partnership in order to provide millions of consumers with the optimal Internet experience on their mobile devices.
"The availability of Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 for Nokia's most popular mass-market devices will allow millions of consumers to unlock the power of their Nokia Series 40 device," said Heikki Norta, senior vice president of Mobile Phones for Nokia. "The availability of familiar Yahoo! services on a mobile platform simplifies the Internet experience for these customers, who may otherwise not explore the full potential of their Nokia Series 40 device. This will allow more people to become part of the new generation of mobile Internet users, and to drive adoption of even more powerful devices in the future."
This is not the first time the two well known companies have worked together. Nokia has included a wide range of Yahoo!'s services on their mobiles up until now. Yahoo! Go for mobiles will include features such as a search service optimized for mobile phone users, photo sharing that keeps consumers connected to their community and streamlined e-mail that allows consumers to easily and quickly respond to, delete or compose new messages as well as view attachments.
"As part of our goal of putting the Internet in every consumer's pocket, Yahoo! is excited to expand its successful, long running relationship with Nokia to bring our groundbreaking Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 service to consumers on their Nokia devices," said Marco Boerries, senior vice president of Connected Life, Yahoo!. "Our innovative new service is designed to bring the Internet to the mobile phone and make it easy for the hundreds of millions of consumers with Nokia devices to stay connected to their community and the information that matters to them."
