Apparently, Nokia is in talks with Facebook about a potential partnership and investment, according to paidContent. The deal, if it goes ahead, would see a mobile version of Facebook being “ported” to Nokia mobile phones in a “major way”. Sounds a bit like Nokia are getting worried by the iPhone and want to latch onto the hottest web ticket.

Nokia could also become the latest investor in Facebook (after Microsoft etc), presumably as a way to solidify any partnership. With Nokia having a financial stake in the company, any partnership to promote Facebook through Nokia’s chain would be that much stronger. I wonder how much longer FB can remain independent/non public.
