Nokia Facebook possible mobile merger

Nokia is working on a major deal with Facebook by offering a “placement” button on the main screen their phones, mainly the iPhone.

The deal is much bigger than just a placement though as there is speculation that the early discussions have involved Nokia purchasing a stake in Facebook.

The possible deal would give Facebook instant mobile distribution as Nokia is the world’s largest maker of mobile phones. A senior Nokia executive declined to go into details about the pact with Facebook: “There is talk of a partnership in the works… it’s safe to say we’re testing the waters and things still have to be worked out.”
