Nokia Looking To Tighten Ties With Facebook

Nokia is looking to forge a closer relationship with social networking giant Facebook. The cell phone maker now has a number of apps ready for Facebook and is hoping to come up with even more offerings in coming months.

Nokia’s “Share on Ovi” media sharing service was opened as a Facebook application last month, and members of the network can also play Nokia’s “Reset Generation”, the world’s most expensive mobile game to develop, which links cellphone and PC gamers allowing them to play against each other.

“We obviously talk with a mass of companies and Facebook is one of them. Facebook is big in the U.S., it’s gaining traction in Europe, but it’s small in Asia,” Savander told Reuters in an interview.

Nokia has made a strong move into mobile applications and content provisioning and expects to go even further in coming months.
