Nokia to include Windows Live services

Setting aside its handset rivalry with Nokia, Microsoft on Wednesday announced it has made a pact to put mobile versions of its Windows Live services onto handsets made by one of its chief competitors.

Under the deal, Nokia will start offering Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger on its most powerful Series 60 handsets this year. Later in the year or early next year, the services will be made available on Series 40 phones. The services will initially be free, though the two companies may later charge for them, splitting the revenue.

“We look at where the market is,” said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of Microsoft’s online services business. “Nokia is the largest handset maker.”
