Nokia and Yahoo! Extend Relationship to Bring Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 to Nokia Devices


    Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and Yahoo! (Nasdaq:YHOO) today expanded their
    relationship to make Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 available on Nokia's
    wide range of mobile phones operating on the Series 40 platform, the
    software user interface that powers Nokia's broadest range of mobile
    devices. Beginning today consumers worldwide can download and enjoy
    Yahoo! Go 2.0 on select Nokia devices including the Nokia 6103, Nokia
    6131 and Nokia 5300 Xpress Music phones. In the first half of 2007,
    the companies will also make Yahoo! Go 2.0 available for a wider range
    of devices and pre-load it onto millions of new Series 40 devices.

    "The availability of Yahoo! Go 2.0 for Nokia's most popular
    mass-market devices will allow millions of consumers to unlock the
    power of their Nokia Series 40 device," said Heikki Norta, senior vice
    president of mobile phones for Nokia. "The availability of familiar
    Yahoo! services on a mobile platform simplifies the Internet
    experience for these customers, who may otherwise not explore the full
    potential of their Nokia Series 40 device. This will allow more people
    to become part of the new generation of mobile Internet users, and to
    drive adoption of even more powerful devices in the future."

    Nokia and Yahoo! have worked together since April 2005 to give
    consumers the optimal Internet experience on their mobile devices. As
    a result, millions of Nokia mobile device owners are able to easily
    use Yahoo!'s innovative services to stay informed, entertained and in
    touch with their Internet community. The companies have expanded their
    relationship several times since then to include a wide range of
    Yahoo!'s services across the majority of Nokia's mobile devices.

    "As part of our goal of putting the Internet in every consumer's
    pocket, Yahoo! is excited to expand our successful, long running
    relationship with Nokia to bring our groundbreaking Yahoo! Go 2.0
    service to consumers on their Nokia devices," said Marco Boerries,
    senior vice president of connected life, Yahoo!. "Our innovative new
    service is designed to bring the Internet to the mobile phone and make
    it easy for the hundreds of millions of consumers with Nokia devices
    to stay connected to their community and the information that matters
    to them."

    Key features of Yahoo! Go 2.0 include:

    -- Search reinvented for mobile consumers -- oneSearch recognizes
    the intent of a search term and presents relevant content --

    updates help consumers find their way.

    to keep consumers connected -- Current headlines and a
    breaking news ticker in the News, Sports, Entertainment,
    Weather and Finance widgets keep consumers connected to the

    "command center" where consumers can access more articles, use
    watchlists to track topics of interest -- from sports teams to
    stocks to celebrities -- or add new content from the millions
    of sources on the Web that publish in RSS.

    -- Photo sharing keeps consumers connected to their community --
    The Flickr widget integrates one of the Web's most innovative
    and prolific photo-sharing communities, making it easy for
    consumers to upload* and manage images from their camera
    phone. Consumers can also easily share photos, view their
    friends' pictures and browse or search the millions of images
    posted by the Flickr community.

    important e-mail easily by searching in the subject line, the
    message body or an attachment. Automatic synchronization
    allows consumers to access messages and contacts in their
    Yahoo! Mail account in real time.
