Nokia Mobile Search expanded with Yahoo! Search

Yahoo! Search is becoming a more integral part of the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Mobile Search application. The cooperation allows Nokia to strengthen the Internet search by offering Yahoo!’s well-known web and image search results in more than 10 languages, on its smartphones (multimedia computers).

The new addition to the Nokia Mobile Search application is the product of working together with Yahoo since April of 2005. Nokia is dedicated to creating an experience that is deeply integrated into the other functions of the device. This agreement is an expansion of an already strong cooperation between leading players in their respective domains - Yahoo! in Internet services and Nokia in mobile devices.

Early data shows that 86% of all image search results are opened, 36% are added to the Gallery and 85% of all Web searches resulted in a browser being launched to access the searched for information. The Nokia Mobile Search also increases consumer discoverability of search on mobile devices as in many cases search will be accessible directly from the menu screen.

The Nokia Mobile Search application is available in select markets in the standard sales packs of the Nokia N80 Internet Edition, Nokia N73, Nokia N93, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6680, and Nokia 6681. It is also offered as a free download for more selected Nokia S60 devices.
