Nokia and Yahoo become internet-mobile partners
Nokia and Yahoo have have made a deal to provide the big Internet portal (read Yahoo) services to the Nokia mobile phones that currently use the Series 40 platform, these cellphones are Nokia 6300, 5300 and 5200 which were recently launched. On the near future both companies expect to add more compatibility and integrate the Yahoo services on more than 40 Nokia phones.
Yahoo will offer their E-Mail and Instant Messaging services in the deal, also known as Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo Messenger.
Now to the funny part, I enjoyed reading what Marco Boerries (a Senior Vice President of Connected Life, Yahoo!) had to say about Yahoo Mail, I guess they have a strong politic against competitors like Gmail:
Yahoo! Mail is the No. 1 Web mail service in the World
Oh Really?
