Nokia offers Blockbuster Zynga Games on Asha Smart phone Devices

Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia Corporation

Enthusiasts of mobile games are in for a treat as Nokia adds to its mobile games two popular Zynga's global hit games, Draw Something and Zynga Poker which would be available on the Nokia Asha Smart phone devices; Asha 305, Asha 306 and Asha 311 in the third quarter of 2012. 

According to the Finnish phone maker, this is a fallout of a partnership announced by the two companies earlier in June. The announcement reinforces Nokia's commitment to delivering must-have app and gaming experiences to consumers of Nokia Series 40 devices, including the Nokia Asha Smart phone range. 

Customers can soon challenge their friends to a round of the popular social drawing and guessing game, or enjoy their own virtual poker match game. Zynga's Draw Something and Zynga Poker will both be free to download on the Asha devices from Nokia Store. The addition of these two new games gives Asha Smart phone users the opportunity to enjoy a variety of mobile gaming experiences along with the other games powered by Electronic Arts (EA), Gameloft, Rovio, and NAMCO BANDAI. 

Speaking on the development, Vice President, Nokia West Africa, Mr. James Rutherfoord said that it is a great opportunity for Nigerians to also experience the awesome applications that are internationally acclaimed and provided by Nokia on the Asha phones. “This is part of our efforts to bring ‘more’ to our customers at affordable cost. We also believe that the games are one of the many features that will interest our customers.

The soon to be launched Asha Smart phone devices feature the new, fully re-designed Asha Smart phone user interface, which combines proven ease-of-use from Nokia's heritage with new, digital design innovations. The cloud-accelerated Nokia Browser 2.0 makes Internet surfing up to three times faster and 85% cheaper than comparable browsers and lots more.
