WASHINGTON: Microsoft and Nokia announced an agreement to make Microsoft Office software available on smartphones made by the Finnish company.

"With more than 200 million smartphone customers globally, Nokia is the world's largest smartphone manufacturer and a natural partner for us," Stephen Elop, president of Microsoft Business Division, said in a statement.
"Today's announcement will enable us to expand Microsoft Office Mobile to Nokia smartphone owners worldwide and allow them to collaborate on Office documents from anywhere," he said.
