The main functions of OZ consist on providing access to instant messaging programs such as AOL, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, and also to offer email services that work with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, and others. Obviously, all these features are suppose to be made while using your cellphone.
At the moment OZ has a big number of paid users, more than 5.5 million, and by joining forces with Nokia that number will surely grow.
One of the main advantages for Nokia after completing the deal, is to to provide all the messaging solutions for specific cellphone models, the S60 and Series 40.

OZ has been working closely with Nokia since 2003 – joining forces at this point is a natural extension of our partnership. We are excited about taking OZ’s solutions to consumers worldwide by leveraging Nokia’s devices and distribution scale.
