Ovi & MyFaves For All Europeans! Nokia and T-Mobile Shake Hands

T-Mobile and Nokia unveiled a new partnership last week, when they announced their plans to enhance European customers’ mobile Internet experience by bringing T-Mobile’s web’n’walk Internet services and Nokia’s Ovi Internet services on a wide range of mobile phones, the two companies said in an official statement.

As everything seems to be “on the go” these days, T-Mobile and Nokia come to support this trend by providing a richer user experience on mobile devices, including access to music, games or personal social community services. The deal will include T-Mobile’s MyFaves service, launched in October 2007 across Europe.

Nokia promised to customize its devices in order to maximize the services provided by T-Mobile. A first step of such a collaboration was first taken in March this year, when the two companies unveiled the exclusive Nokia 6650 device for T-Mobile which will become available across Europe starting this July.

“We are excited about further extending our good cooperation with T-Mobile by supporting them in their key propositions like MyFaves and web’n’walk, and we see this as a perfect match with our Ovi services,” said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President Nokia. “We believe in providing consumers with choice regarding which Internet services they want to access from their mobile device.”

Nokia introduced Ovi in August last year, as a “door” (the translation of Ovi in Finnish) to offering customers easy access to their social network, communities and content, as well as other Nokia services. Ovi includes Nokia Music Store and N-Gage, as well as Nokia Maps and other services.

"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," said Christopher Schläffer, Group Product and innovation Officer at Deutsche Telekom.
