Download! for PC graduated: browser based Nokia Download Store replaces the dedicated PC client

Kudos to all of you who spent time giving us valuable feedback about Nokia’s PC based application store Download! for PC. Most importantly, we learned during the nine-month beta period that a browser based service would be more attractive solution than a dedicated PC client.

And now, we can proudly present Nokia Download Store:

Nokia Download Store is a Web shop for trying and buying content for your Nokia device. From Nokia Download Store you can find, preview and buy a wide variety of content, applications and services from a range of different providers. Previewing and downloading applications doesn’t cost you anything, but if you want to buy something, you may have to pay for that item.

This service replaces the PC client, and I feel it’s fair to call the concept as “graduated”.

You can access the service from http://www.download.nokia.com.

Thanks again everyone!!

Quick note: we just made a minor update to Download! for PC:

  • a couple of annoying bugs fixed
  • support all standard S60 languages added (hence the 4 installation packages for different regions)

Overview of the app:

Download! for PC enables you to discover mobile content using a PC. When you connect your mobile device to the PC, Download! for PC automatically synchronises with the corresponding software on your device. This makes it easy for you to find, download and manage content that is compatible with your device.
