Nokia Download!, originally Nokia Catalogs, [1] [2] was a mobile application for Nokia devices that allowed access to digitally distributed media content. Catalogs/Download! came preloaded on most Symbian S60 smartphones from Nokia (from 2006), as well as some later Series 40 feature phones. Most of the content was paid. [3]
The Catalogs/Download! store had access to applications, tones, videos, graphics, games, and news content [4] [5] from aggregators Nokia Software Market, WidSets, [6] and third-parties like Handango, Jamster and Yahoo! Go. In June 2006 Nokia announced the Nokia Content Discoverer [7] [1] [8] [9] and signed deals that brought content from Electronic Arts, Warner Bros and others to the Content Discoverer. [10] [11] [12] [13]
Nokia had earlier in 2004 attempted to create such a system with Preminet, an end-to-end global sales channel. [14] The Content Discoverer is effectively an evolution of it. [15] Both the names Catalogs and Content Discoverer were soon replaced solely by "Download!". [16]
A web client PC equivalent called Nokia Download Store was piloted under Nokia Beta Labs and was available from June 2008. [17]
Download! was replaced by the Ovi Store in 2009. [18] [19]
