Nokia and Yahoo are uniting in the mobile services sector.

Nokia and Yahoo, two companies, each of which is a leader (or almost is) in its field, yesterday announced cooperation in the US mobile market. Nokia will use the power of the newly purchased navigation map giant NAVTEQ to help Yahoo with navigation services and, in fact, online maps. At the same time, Yahoo will be engaged in improving the mail and chat services in the Finnish company's smartphones.

Unlike its competitors, Google and Microsoft, Yahoo still does not have its own mobile operating system, and its own search is almost not supported by the company. However, what Yahu still remains the leader in the US market - this is in the field of email (here Gmail has not yet become the first), sports and financial information portals, which are used by default in the iPhone OS.

The goal of cooperation is clear - Nokia wants to deepen and consolidate its position in the States, where, so far, their products have not gained much confidence and interest from buyers. Which, of course, has a bad effect on the company's financial condition - almost all new phones today are announced primarily in the USA, where they collect the first millions of sales.
