It’s an interesting partnership for sure, those earlier rumors did indeed come true today with the Official Press Release from both Nokia, and Yahoo! hitting the headlines earlier today.
But what exactly is Nokia’s motive for this partnership, and how will it benefit us, the enduser?
To me personally, I have watched Yahoo! die a slow and painless decline over the years, with the only prominent service tied to Yahoo! being flickr.
Yahoo! Chat is riddled with spammers, and the same can be said with Yahoo! Mail too, which lead myself to quit using the email service a long time ago, and setting up another ymail email address solely for use with my flickr account.
How do you feel about this Nokia & Yahoo! partnership, and who do you believe will benefit the most from it?
Most of you know Nokia is pushing hard in undeveloped countries, and dominates the lower end dumbphone market, could this partnership solely serve for these markets?
I understand that Nokia will be enabling cross platform logging into accounts functionality across selected Ovi, and Yahoo! accounts. How do you feel about this, considering Nokia are still rolling out their already cumbersome Nokia Account for all Ovi Services.?
Ovi Mail will now be managed by Yahoo! but the Ovi name will remain. What will this bring to the likes of you, and me who already use the service.?
I personally believe todays news is simply to enable Nokia to reach even further into developing countries, and nothing more.
Discuss, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts from around the world.
