Espoo, Finland – Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Microsoft to integrate Live Search capabilities into its Mobile Search platform, thus enabling consumers access to Live Search directly from their Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other compatible Nokia S60 devices.

Microsoft will provide advanced search results for web search, as well as quick and easy access to information such as stock quotes, movie times, and common facts via Encarta Instant Answers*. The Mobile Search experience from Nokia allows users to find search results more quickly than by using the browser and finding the web page of an internet search provider, since in many cases search will be accessible directly from the menu screen.

"The Mobile Search platform is dedicated towards creating a user experience that is easy to access and optimally integrated into other functions of the device. "
"We are pleased to provide advanced Live Search services to enhance the search experience on Nokia’s S60 handsets," said John DeVitis, product unit manager of Live Search for mobile at Microsoft Corp. "Live Search offers consumers unprecedented control and personalization giving them easy access to searching the web plus targeted instant information from their mobile devices."
