Facebook and Nokia partner

Facebook and Nokia have introduced a built-in Facebook button on Nokia Asha 205. The new Nokia Asha 205 enables to easily access the Facebook, use messaging, share photos and status updates much faster.

"People around the world use Facebook Mobile to connect and share with their friends," said Javier Olivan, head of growth, engagement and mobile for Facebook. "We are focused on delivering the best Facebook experience to as many people as possible and our partnership with Nokia perfectly complements our strategy of giving people around the world a rich Facebook experience for keeping in touch with their friends," added Javier.

"Globally, young consumers have increasingly started using Facebook for socializing, keeping in touch and striking new friendships. The launch of the Nokia Asha 205responds to this growing demand and gives them a unique option for accessing Facebook while on-the-go," said Timo Toikkanen, executive vice president, Mobile Phones, Nokia. He added, "We have seen that many people who use Nokia Asha devices are hyper-social and we are proud to partner with Facebook to improve the user experience of those consumers further with the introduction of the Facebook button."

Nokia has also announced the introduction of Slam feature on the Nokia Asha 205 and Nokia 206 mobile phones. Slam allows consumers to share multimedia content like photos and videos with nearby friends almost instantly. Slam works with most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones without the need to pair devices, and without the recipient needing to also have Slam. In just a few clicks, people can 'Slam' their content to another device faster than with Bluetooth alone and without consuming Internet data.
