Nokia has recently tied up with Google to facilitate web search on its products. This was announced at the Mobile World Congress in which Nokia also launched new models offering new services. One of those models is the fantastic Nokia N96.
The integration of this Google software will begin in select markets on Nokia N78, Nokia 6210 Navigator and Nokia 6220 Classic. Nokia N96 is also included in this group. However, Google search will be extended to additional models in the future.
This feature, will be available in over 100 countries, serving mobile owners speaking 40 languages. Nokia is improving its market share and launching more and more mobiles “mini personal computers”, as the company said.
“As we continue to free the internet from the limitations of the desktop, we are taking mobility into a completely new realm of possibility,” Nokia Chief Executive Officer Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said.
Nokia Executive Vice President (Mobile Phones) Kai Ostamo, while commenting on its new range of phones, said “we would like to be called Mobile Experience Company and not just a mobile phone company.”
Last Friday Nokia Shares (NOK) ended with a loss of 0,69% while Google shares (GOOG) lost 0,49%
