As part of the collaboration, Nokia will customize the new Nokia handsets to provide easy access to by Telecom Italia (TIM) services. Similarly, TIM customers can access all Nokia services through the customized multimedia menu embedded into their Nokia device. The collaboration also includes areas such as technology and billing co-operation.
The Nokia N95 8GB and the Nokia N81 will be the first devices offered that will have customized menus to provide easy access to both services.
Jyrki Salminen, senior vice president at Nokia Multimedia, said: Ease of use has always been at heart of Nokia devices and this collaboration is an important step in creating the same for Internet services. Nokia devices and services are based on open standards making it easy for us to work with forward thinking operators such as TIM to provide consumers with a choice about which internet services they want to access from their mobile device.
