Nokia Partners With Orange For Nokia Messaging

The Guru posts a link to Nokia’s Press release on the link up between Orange and Nokia for Nokia Messaging. He also has some nice things to say about how open the Orange team was at the recent Developer camp.

The Nokia/Orange partnership will make it easy for Orange subscribers to setup Nokia Messaging straight on their phone, as it will be integrated into the Orange Homescreen. I had a chance to meet many of the Orange folks last year, at the Orange Developer Camp, and was suprised at how open they are to letting consumers choose things, specifically on S60 smartphones. It’s a stark contrast to what I’m used to here in the United States with AT&T’s branding.
