Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced a collaboration to strengthen T-Mobile (NYSE: DT)’s capabilities to bring core services to market and improve the capability of S60 licensees to develop devices for T-Mobile. The collaboration is part of T-Mobile’s efforts to harmonize terminal software solutions within T-Mobile’s device portfolio.
Through the collaboration, T-Mobile will have access to timely and customized S60 products that support the consumer adoption of their services, such as web’n'walk, a service that allows easy access to the Internet on mobile devices. And Nokia, well, one could argue that this is a part of the Nokia’s plan for the S60’s expansion in the U.S. where T-Mobile also operates.
