Steve Litchfield takes a look at the recently updated Download! client on the Nokia e61i. The application was created to help users unfamiliar with S60 to find new applications for their mobile. A serious source of potential, the Download! client is inferior because Nokia categorizes people by the type of device they use. Purchased a Nokia N95? You will have applications tailored towards media. Purchased the absolutely gorgeous E61i? You must love watching Bloomberg TV all day long.
All that aside, it is a step in the right direction and I’ve yet to see other phone manufactures do this. I’ve seen operators try to sell you software, but never the people who actually make the hardware. Is this the start of something greater at Nokia? We will find out in January after the reorganization.

It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
