Yahoo! Search is becoming a more integral part of the Nokia 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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
