"By enabling access to Windows Live services on both the Nokia S60 and Series 40 platforms using standard web services protocols our mutual customers will have the power to seamlessly move between contacts, mail, messenger, phone calls, text messaging, camera, gallery and browsing all in an integrated way," Nokia claims. Nokia customers who own the Nokia N73, N76, N80 Internet Edition, N93i, and the N95 can get the Windows Live services via the Download! application in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, UK, Sweden, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, via http://www.nokia.com/windowslive. Nokia has not indicated when, or if the service will be extended to other countries. Initially the service will be available as a free trial. Nokia says that, after an unspecified time, "customers in select markets wishing to continue using the service may be asked to pay a monthly fee." The announcement builds on the existing co-operation between Nokia and Microsoft, which integrated Microsoft's Live Search for Mobile into the Nokia Mobile Search application. Nokia says it also plans to extend this service onto the Series 40 platform. Earlier this month Nokia announced that it would support Microsoft's PlayReady content access technology on the Nokia S60 and Series 40 mobile device platforms, starting in 2008.{moscomment}
