T-Mobile and Nokia hook up on services

T-Mobile's web'n'walk and Nokia's Ovi on a wide range of devices

Written by Ian Williams

T-Mobile and Nokia have teamed up to offer a range of services and social networking tools.

European customers will be offered faster and easier access to T-Mobile's web'n'walk and Nokia's Ovi internet services on a wide range of Nokia devices.

The companies hope to drive the mobilisation of social networks by enhancing T-Mobile's community-oriented MyFaves service, which was launched in Europe in October last year.

T-Mobile and Nokia will also develop new widgets to help users create an instant and customisable portal to their preferred internet and messaging services.

A dedicated suite of T-Mobile services will be "seamlessly integrated" into Nokia devices, and customers will have access to Nokia's Ovi services including music, maps and games.

"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," said Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president of markets at Nokia.
