Mobile software made easy at Softonic

October 2006

Europe’s #1 software portal, Softonic.com today launches its new phones platform featuring a smarter, clearer interface and many new features to enhance and improve ease of use.

Designed to make it easier for users to find software designed for their mobile handset, Softonic’s phones platform features a simple new way of identifying your phone by manufacturer, model or simply operating system.

For users searching by model, a drop-down menu on the homepage lets you select the manufacturer of your handset (Alcatel, Nokia, Sony Ericsson etc) you’ll then see a list of all models from your chosen manufacturer – all with images to make it easier to spot your phone!

The mobile phone-filter also lets you search by operating system, and all the program on this new phone platform come with a handy symbol which lets you quickly identify which programs are compatible with Blackberry, Java, Symbian, or Windows mobile operating systems.

For users who are fairly new to downloading to their mobile phone there is also a comprehensive help section which guide users through the new look platform and offers advice on aspects such as installing software and transferring files from your computer to mobile phone.

With new programs and updates being added daily, Softonic is the perfect site to visit to find software for your cell phone, Palm PDA, Pocket PC, Apple Mac or Windows PC.
