HELSINKI (Reuters) - New smartphones from top global mobile phone maker Nokia (NYSE:NOK - news) will have pre-installed Internet services, like email, from internet media company Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), Nokia said on Tuesday.

"We aim to get Yahoo's services on the phones in as many countries and channels as possible," a Nokia spokesman said.

In the first quarter, Nokia shipped 5.4 million smartphones, accounting for a 50 percent share of the global smartphone market, research firm Canalys said earlier.
