Nokia has launched its Ovi Life Tools service in China on two handsets, the 1616 and 1800
Designed for the emerging markets, Ovi Life Tools offers a wide range of information services covering healthcare, agriculture, education and entertainment. The service addresses the needs of rural consumers with the vision to provide livelihood and life-impacting benefits to improve their economic prosperity and quality of life.
The service is SMS-based and will be offered in simplified Chinese, with the help of six major partners: Beijing Etiantian Net Educational Technology Co. Ltd (Beijing Sizhong Ltd.), Beijing Nongxintong Technology Co. Ltd., 39.net, Kongzhong Corporation, British Council, and Sina.com.
Nokia 1800 and Nokia 1616, the handsets that will bring Ovi Life Tools to China, should become available for purchase in mid-May. Users will pay monthly subscription fees for the various services, with the entertainment service costing RMB 5 a month – around $0.73 – for weather, jokes and something called ‘Straw Draw’
