Steve looks at the under appreciated Download! application. Download! is available on most new SIM free S60 phones and offers a variety of downloads including fully licensed applications, themes, add-ons, and trial applications. In the article a UK based E61i is used as an example of what is available (content varies by phone model and market).

Any idea when this Download for PC app for Windows would be available for download? Anyone beta testing this?
Anyone knows where I can find those "dots" themesfor my N95? I found the mocha one in the E90 support pages, but I can't seem to find the other colours...
I just don't understand why they're so restrictive about applications being "appropriate" to a particular device. Is there really any reason why the 6120 Download! includes three games but the 6290 only includes two, for example?
Indeed, why are there only three downloads at all? There are hundreds of games out there, why not have dozens or hundreds of them available for purhcase?
This sounds like a marketing scheme that tries to artificially enhance the value of some models at the expense of others. They're all S60 3rd Edition, they almost all have the same screen resolution, and in the case of the 6290 and 6120 they have an identical processor and RAM, so why the difference in downloads?
Does the Download app integrate with phone software distributors like Handango? It would be good if it provided simple access to all suitable phone software you could get from non-Nokia source like that.
Also, I'd like it if there was some mechanism for independent developers to easily get their stuff listed in the Download app.
