The YouTube videos will be accessible through Nokia's web browser with a YouTube mobile website to be launched shortly.

Clips will be available on Nokia's N-series phones (the so-called multimedia handheld computers or smartphones). The N-series phones will support RSS feeds from YouTube; which will have feeds with the most recent or highest rated videos on the system, or specific RSS feeds tailored to certain certain themes. The feed will be available through the Nokia Video Center application, which is pre-installed on the Nokia N95 phone.

"We are thrilled to be giving users easy access to entertaining YouTube videos anytime and anywhere. By partnering with an industry leader like Nokia, we're able to bring YouTube videos to mobile phone users worldwide," said Steve Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for YouTube.  

"We are extremely excited to be able to announce YouTube as one of our first global partners in bringing internet videos easily to our Nokia Nseries owners," said Harri Männistö, Director, Multimedia, Nokia. "The addition of the enhanced internet video experience is a logical continuation of the wide range of internet experiences available on Nokia Nseries multimedia computers covering already for example photo and video uploading and sharing, music discovery as well as search and navigation."

The announcement was made at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona.
