Orange, Nokia to cooperate on gaming, advertising

BARCELONA (Reuters) - France Telecom's mobile arm Orange and Nokia said they will cooperate on location-based services, maps, mobile advertising and gaming.

Orange, which sells about 25 million devices a year, said that Nokia -- the world's largest maker of cell phones with major ambitions in music -- had agreed that the Orange Music Store would be the default music service on Nokia phones that Orange sells.

"They have recognised that it is a leading platform," said Olaf Swantee, head of Orange.
