Nokia Taking A Minor Stake In Facebook

Nokia is partnering with Facebook to build the popular social networking site into its handsets, reports suggest.

According to PaidContent, the deal could see a Facebook button appearing on hundreds of thousands of Nokia handsets, giving it the same prominence that YouTube currently enjoys on the main screen of the iPhone.

The report also claims that part of the deal would see Nokia taking a minor stake in the social networking site, though no financial figures have been released.

Nokia currently holds around 38% of the global mobile market, according to third quarter figures from Gartner, and the deal would certainly give Facebook a massive mobile presence.
