Submit your best Series 40 Java or web apps in Nokia’s 'Create for Millions' contest to win your share of cash and prizes, worth 1 million euros.
Reflecting Nokia's stated
strategy to deliver mobile phones and services for the next billion, there will also be a tremendous need to offer outstanding apps for use on those devices. This includes apps for Series 40 phones that inform, educate, entertain, and bring people closer together. Nokia's Series 40 phones have experienced more than 35 per cent growth in download volumes in the past two months, making up about a quarter of the total downloads from Nokia's Ovi Store. Now is your chance to make the most of this growing opportunity.
