Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

I see nothing but benefit for Nokia teaming up with Yahoo. The reason?? Now Yahoo mail actually "WORK" on N900!!! That's all i care about...nothing more!!

As for Yahoo Messenger...i can careless because i have Pidgin and it works.

So i don't understand what you people are whining about.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

well, i do use some Yahoo services, and they are pretty well designed IMO

Flickr
Babelfish
Pipes

the yahoo webmail interface is quite nice too, actually

not sure if it is still true now, but at least as of august 2009, yahoo had more mailboxes than gmail

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

It's not whining. Speculation led people to think that this was a losing combination of two declining companies. While this allegiance does make quite a bit more sense; it still doesn't seem to be... well, the best option out there imho.

But, let's see what will/does happen. As it stands, my expectations will remain rather low - mainly because both companies are honestly notorious for missing the mark in some of their simpler, supposedly more intuitive offerings (an aside, I absolutely hated how Yahoo Maps had the wrong documentation notes for their AS2 and AS3 API's for 2+ years in some spots and I had to basically guess, whereas Google Maps AS3 implementation API was documented spot on) - because of their history.

This announcement makes sense. I just hope they can make it work correctly the first time. No Flickr integration is odd though.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

Flickr is already integrated on all nokia symbian phones.
todays announcement is all about web and it seems nokia are getting more out of it than yahoo.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

Announcing that would have been advantageous, that's what I meant.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

@gerbick I'm agreed with you that it's not the best pairing ever, but certainly better than nothing. Better late than never though? Probably.

Anyway, new iPhone coming out in a couple of weeks and it looks fab, plus Google are really pushing the envelope in terms of specification and features with Android. The N8 with some Yahoo widgets has got a lot of competition on it's hands and I'm glad I don't own any of those Nokia shares graphed from YoDude's post.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

Partnerships are good

-Intel for Meego
-MS$ for exchange and IM
-Yahoo for Maps and push email

Its all additive, and gets them more visibility in the US of A.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

Didn't know that Yahoo mail and chat were this popular.

Re: Nokia and Yahoo Teaming Up?
 

This is very2 good for both Nokia and Yahoo.
Such an upgrade from Nokia's rather lame original Ovi offering.
