Googlify your Nokia
By Joseph Hanlon on 25 June 2008
Do you miss the magical G when you're away from your PC? Do you also own a Nokia smartphone?
A Google search bar is now available to download for the home-screen on your E- or N-series Nokia handset. The search bar sits at the bottom of the screen and — wait for it — lets you search the internet!
OK, so it's not exactly a mobile phone revolution but Google predict a "40 per cent faster search", although we're not sure if that refers to some complex search algorithm or just the time you save by not having to open your phone's browser first. Whatever the answer we love it, because we're lazy and we loving searching the internet for junk like "lolcatz".
If you're a Nokia owner who wants to Googlify your phone you can download it from Google's US mobile site by directing your phone's browser to m.google.com. If all this tiresome downloading sounds like too much work, you can just buy a new Samsung i450 which runs Nokia's S60 operating platform and comes with the Google search bar pre-installed.

Informative article, just wonder when they will Googlify other Nokia phones, such as those in the 6000 series, but not a Navigator such as the 6300. This is because it is harder to access Google on Nokia 6300.
