Bonn, Germany and Espoo, Finland - T-Mobile and Nokia today announced
that they are collaborating to accelerate the availability of new
Internet services and personal social communities on mobile devices.
Â
By signing this collaboration agreement, T-Mobile and Nokia will be
able to offer their European customers faster and easier access to
all of T-Mobile's web'n'walk Internet services as well as all to
Nokia's Ovi Internet services on a wide range of Nokia devices.
Â
T-Mobile and Nokia will together drive the mobilization of social
networks. The companies will partner to further enhance T-Mobile's
community-oriented MyFaves service, launched in October 2007 in
Europe, empowered by the well-known Nokia user experience.
Â
Widget cooperation is another focus area for the companies, where
T-Mobile's leading web'n'walk offering will provide an even richer
user experience. T-Mobile's web'n'walk offers customers an instant
and customizable access to their most preferred Internet and
messaging services.
Â
For T-Mobile customers, Nokia will customize its devices to provide a
dedicated suite of T-Mobile services which will be seamlessly
integrated to Nokia devices. Similarly, T-Mobile customers can access
Nokia's Internet services, such as music, maps and games, through
their Nokia device, which will offer T-Mobile customers a great
opportunity to enjoy best-in-class Internet services.Â
Â
In March T-Mobile and Nokia announced the exclusive Nokia 6650 device
for T-Mobile which will be available in July in Europe. This
collaboration is the next step in intensifying the good partnership
between the companies.
Â
"We are pleased about developing our long-lasting and successful
cooperation with Nokia, which underlines our position as an
innovation leader," says Christopher Schläffer, Group Product &
Innovation Officer at Deutsche Telekom. "High-performance devices and
our broadband mobile phone network are ideally suited for granting
easy access to our T-Mobile Services like MyFaves, web'n'walk or
Nokia-complementary service offerings (e.g. Maps or Games), providing
our customers with an even wider range of mobile communication,
information and entertainment services."
Â
"We are excited about further extending our good cooperation with
T-Mobile by supporting them in their key propositions like My Faves
and web'n'walk, and we see this as a perfect match with our Ovi
services. Easy access to a wide variety of services will enhance the
way people use their mobile devices and bring Web 2.0 experiences to
life. We believe in providing consumers with choice regarding which
Internet services they want to access from their mobile device," said
Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia
