BARCELONA, Feb 12 (Reuters) - France Telecom's (FTE.PA: Quote, Profile, Research) mobile arm Orange and Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research) said they will cooperate on location-based services, maps, mobile advertising and gaming.

Orange, which sells about 25 million devices a year, said that Nokia -- the world's largest maker of cell phones with major ambitions in music -- had agreed that the Orange Music Store would be the default music service on Nokia phones that Orange sells.
