Mobile phone maker Nokia said it would <A HREF="http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=201801872">bring Microsoft's Windows Live suite of Web services,</A> like email and instant messaging, to many of its cell phones.
Microsoft, Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc. are competing for valuable real estate on a handset's main screen, so users can gain access to their online services without the extra step of going through the phone's Web browser.
Microsoft's services will integrate with Nokia's existing programs allowing users to sync their Windows Live contacts list with the phone's address book or send and receive Hotmail emails within Nokia's messaging application.
Owners of Nokia's multimedia phones will be able to download a suite of Windows Live services that include email, instant messenger, contacts list and a blogging and picture sharing site.
