Nokia S60 users will soon be able to access Microsoft Live products on their devices, reports Search Engine Land.

Users in 11 countries will be able to access Live Hotmail, Messenger, Contacts and Spaces on their S60s. This is an expansion of a deal from back in September that put Windows Live Search on S60s.

The move by Microsoft could be a preemptive one to fend off whatever Google winds up doing in the mobile space. That could include Google developing its own device, something the company has not actually ruled out.
