WeFi Launched on Symbian For Easy Wi-Fi Access Including Nokia S60





WeFi’s Launch on Symbian, the Largest Operating System in the Mobile Phone Market, is Further Proof of WeFi Providing Quick and Easy Wi-Fi Access to Users Around the World

Delaware, USA-/Wi-Fi Technology News/- WeFi Inc., creator of the first open, community-based global Wi-Fi network, announced today the launch of a version of its free software for the Nokia S60 mobile phone series, offering users automatic access to the best Wi-Fi connection available. WeFi’s software launch on Symbian, the largest operating system in the global market with over 60% of mobile phones, is further proof of WeFi leading the way in providing quick and easy Wi-Fi access to users around the world.

WeFi is effectively making mobile Internet connection fast and easy-to-use for Symbian users. After downloading and installing the free software from WeFi’s website, www.wefi.com, when asked to choose an access point, users can simply select “Automatic – WeFi”, and WeFi will connect them to the best connection. Users can also program your mobile device so that “Automatic – WeFi” is the default connection for any application.

After having established itself as a leader in bringing open Wi-Fi hotspots to people around the world, WeFi is now increasingly penetrating the mobile market with this latest feature on Symbian phones, in addition to a recently released version available to Windows Mobile users. WeFi always seeks to connect users to Wi-Fi access points where Internet access has already been verified by other WeFi-enabled devices – dubbed “community-verified spots” - in a growing network of over 2.5 million access points.

Symbian users can also register the WeFi software on their personal computers, and then benefit from easy access to WeFi’s social networking tools, including a map of Wi-Fi access points on which they can pinpoint their friends in real-time, send messages and share photos and other information.

“The current launch on Nokia S60 phones demonstrates our commitment to creating a truly seamless Wi-Fi experience,” said Zur Feldman, CEO of WeFi. “Thanks to WeFi, the sizeable number of Symbian users around the world can now forget about a long and complicated manual search for a Wi-Fi hotspot, and benefit from a simple one-step process to launch any application, wherever they are.”
