Nokia, T-Mobile Enhance Mobile Web

Nokia and T-Mobile have signed a deal that has Nokia supplyng T-Mobile with phones especially tailored to provide easy access to T-Mobile’s “web’n’walk” internet service and Nokia’s mobile portal Ovi.

The two companies also saythey will work on making social network sites more mobile, and will cooperate on creating mobile widgets to create a “richer” user experience for T-Mobile’s web’n’walk service.

A couple of angles: Nokia supports its own content portal; T-Mobile, despite that possible conflict, needs Nokia to optimize handsets for web'n'walk. That's co-opetition, to be sure: competing and collaborating all at the same time.
