In what must be a coup for Nokia, Vodafone has agreed to launch an integrated suite of combined Vodafone-Nokia Ovi services on handsets (’Ovi’ means ‘door’ in Finnish). The key is that Vodafone has agreed to carry a number of exclusive Nokia Ovi handsets.
The deal means that Vodafone subscribers will get faster access to Vodafone’s mobile internet services, as well as all of Nokia’s Ovi services. The handsets will have one-click access to the internet services.
As part of this, Vodafone and Nokia will offer direct access to both the operator’s music service and Nokia Music Store on all of Nokia’s 2008 handsets.
