MUMBAI, INDIA
Baidu has come to Nokia. No.1 cellphone maker Nokia Communications and No.1 Chinese Internet search firm Baidu have joined hands to offer Baidu search on Nokia's N70, N90 and select S60 mobile phones. Both Nokia and Baidu expressed hope that making Baidu search available on Nokia phones will make the wireless search experience more rewarding for the Chinese net surfer.
With Nokia's Mobile Search Application loaded on Nokia N70, N90 and S60, Nokia users will be able to access Baidu's Web Search, News Search, Image Search and Baidu Post Bar on their cellphones. The Baidu Post Bar is a highly popular online community created by Baidu. Baidu search and wireless services will be available on these Nokia phones in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hng Kong. Nokia and Baidu have been working together on this project for long.
Baidu is China's search engine giant, which started offering its search services on WAP and PDA platforms as early as 2004. By making itself available through cellphones, Baidu hopes to reach out to more users. Baidu on Nokia will make searching for information and finding online communities a breeze through Nokia phones.
Nokia has offered a free download of the Mobile Search application at www.nokia.com/mobilesearch
.
Said Xuyang Ren, Director of Baidu's Business Development Department: "Our cooperation with Nokia is a demonstration of Baidu's commitment to providing users the most convenient way to find information. Nokia is one of Baidu's most important collaborators in mobile search and together we will bring the best mobile search experience to Chinese users."
Said Dan Wong, vice president of Multimedia Sales and Channels at Nokia, China: Nokia Mobile Search is noted for its ease of use - and combined with Baidu's search services, people will be able to extend their rich search experience to the mobile domain in Chinese. We have chosen to collaborate with the leading Chinese language search provider to connect our Chinese users to information and to each other with the touch of a button. We are confident that this cooperation will strengthen both Nokia and Baidu's position as leaders in mobile search in China."
