if it’s built in to the nokia pc suite then there is a more direct form to reach users and say “look we have new applications to offer you!”

and as someone commented on your blog, who decides what applications go in the download! client?

andydigitale: so catalogs = download! ?

Nope. I don’t have enough time, and in any case, it would be impossible as the availability of apps depends totally on the operator, country, phone model, etc.

> How is Nokia telling users that new applications are available?

I think Nokia doesn’t.

> Why is Download! not integrated in to the Nokia PC Suite?

Conway’s law, I think. Not a bad idea, though.

> Why isn’t Download! a feature available on the Nokia E61? How can I get it?

It is: try http://www.nokia.com/catalogs or http://www.nokia.com/A4228134

I've tried to update the list a few times and there's no change and no new apps.

‘Download” actually is a feature on the stock E61; just not on many operator branded versions :-{ It “appeared” on my E61 after I had updated it to the generic version which gives you the phone and apps just like Nokia originally intended it.

Before that I got the app from here: http://www.nokia.com.au/nokia/0,6771,93123,00.html

Note that the website above is for my region (Australia.) The ‘Download” or ‘Catalogues’ application could very well show slightly different content depending from where it was downloaded or if it came pre-installed on the phone.
