Nokia's Lumia Windows Phones Get 20 EA Games

Earlier this week, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced the upcoming availability of their first devices to run under Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system, and some more info on what will be available for them has emerged.

Among other applications and services that these devices will benefit from, we can also count a number of 20 games from EA.

“This time, we’ll be designing our games for an awe-inspiring experience on Windows Phone for Nokia,” Barry Cottle, executive vice president and GM for EA Interactive, said during the Nokia World Conference in London.

He also explained that the company plans on pushing 10 games from EA to Nokia's Lumia devices, along with games from Chillingo, the indie publishing arm of EA.

On top of that, users will benefit from a range of seven games from the Hasbro line-up, he added.

“That’s the best games for free plus exclusive content for Nokia users. It’s a big win for Nokia’s consumers worldwide,” Barry said.

But there's more to it. Apparently, the partnership that EA and Nokia signed also includes the release of content for other handsets from the Finnish mobile phone maker.

Nokia users all around the world will benefit from this deal and not only those who will purchase Windows Phone devices from the company.

“First, we’re going to deliver 40 free games on multiple Nokia Series 40 handsets,” Barry stated.

During the said conference, Nokia also unveiled plans to bring to its Windows Phone devices content from other areas as well, including sports, courtesy of a new partnership with ESPN International.

The forthcoming ESPN Hub in Nokia Lumia devices will differentiate them from other Windows Phones, offering “intelligently localized content to fans,” as Russell Wolff, executive vice president & managing director of ESPN International, explained.

However, these are only examples of what Nokia's new Windows Phone devices will include. The Finnish mobile phone maker promised even more apps and content to land in users' hands when these smartphones become available next month.
