February 08, 2007


Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that its Mobile Search application is now able to search for content stored on your device, ranging from emails, text messages and calendar entries to videos and music files.

"Nokia Mobile Search has proven to be a hit with people who want access to information and services at their fingertips and now we're bringing that same ease of use to search for content you already have on your Nokia device," said Ralph Eric Kunz, vice president, Multimedia Experiences, Nokia. "Whether you are trying to find a calendar entry, find the SMS your friend sent days ago, or track down a multimedia file you downloaded, Nokia Mobile Search is the easiest way to find what you are looking for on your device."
 
Working with over 20 partners from around the world and available in over 40 languages, Nokia Mobile Search is a simple, convenient, and fast way to find and connect to content you want - whether on the Internet through local service providers or search engines or already stored in yourcompatible device - directly from your Nokia device.
