Nokia has teamed up with France Telecom for a joint venture under which both the companies will be providing Internet services in nine countries across Europe. Nokia will be responsible for providing digital mapping for location based services and searches and Orange, a France Telecom company, will provide Orange Mobile Music store. All these services will be available to Orange customers across Europe. Nokia will also be adding ten Nokia handsets to Orange’s Signature line of handsets. The deal will stretch across three years. Now there is one more catch here, Nokia is pretty successful with its N Series and XpressMusic handsets in emerging countries like India and this deal with Orange, will see Orange providing mobile music services. So the ten handsets that Nokia will contribute to Orange’s Signature line can be from its N Series and the XpressMusic range, lets see, time will tell.
