The buzz around Google’s Android venture has made Nokia join forces with Vodafone to launch an integrated suite of the latter’s services along with Nokia Ovi Services on a range of Nokia handsets.

These services are promised to offer customers a greater choice of communications, Internet services, content and browsing through a range of premium handsets on high speed 3G and 3G broadband networks. Vodafone and Nokia have also agreed that a number of these handsets will be exclusive to Vodafone.

The cooperation will also deliver greater choice in music for customers, by making both the Vodafone music service and the Nokia Music Store available on Nokia's 2008 handsets. “Customers will get faster and easier access to all of Vodafone's Internet and entertainment services as well as all of Ovi from Nokia services on a wide range of handsets.” Nokia said.

"We're pleased to be working with Nokia in leading the industry to bring customers a complete suite of Vodafone communications, browsing, content and Internet services. This is a logical step for Vodafone to make, further improving our customer experience with many of the services already launched with leading Internet partners." said Frank Rovekamp, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone Group.

"Web2.0 is all about social networking and enabling people to connect with each other in new ways. Bringing location and context awareness to web2.0 services is the next stage in the web development and Nokia multimedia computers enable people to participate to their favourite internet services on-the-go", said Executive Vice President and General Manager Nokia Multimedia Anssi Vanjoki. "We're excited to work with Vodafone to provide consumers with Internet services like navigation, music, games and communities to make their life richer and more enjoyable, independent of time and place."
