Nokia’s new C6 mobile device comes with World Traveler pre-installed!

Aug 09, 2010 WARSAW. JULY 30, 2010—The popular mobile travel platform, World Traveler, now comes pre-installed Nokia’s newly-released Nokia mobile device, the Nokia C6, Polish mobile solutions innovator Psiloc announced today.

“This is exciting news for Psiloc, as not only we see World Traveler pre-installed on Nokia’s newest device, but also one of Psiloc’s most popular applications, Font Magnifier, which automatically enlarges or decreases phone fonts for a user’s convenience,” Marek Filipiak, president and founder of Psiloc said. World Traveler, Psiloc’s popular mobile travel platform, has gained more than two million active users since arriving on the market in June 2009. World Traveler works on a “freemium” model, which includes both free plug-ins, such as a five-day weather forecast, currency converter and world clock, as well as premium plug-ins that are available on a paid-subscription basis, such as Flight Assistant and Travel Safe.

Flight Assistant enables users to check alternative flights and get alerts in the event of changes to a flight schedule. Hotelzon, another World Traveler plug-in, allows a user to search for available hotels and book rooms through the mobile phone. Travel Safe is a virtual vault for sensitive information, such as passport, or credit card numbers.

Meanwhile, Psiloc’s popular Font Magnifier application has been a mainstay for years—simply because users find it improves the user-friendliness of a cellular phone with the ability to increase or decrease fonts. Owners of Nokia’s C6 model have Font Magnifier pre-installed, but in order to run Font Magnifier, they should go to “Font Magnifier” under the “Applications” icon. They should then hit “Run Font Magnifier” and proceed to obtaining the Font Magnifier license.

This is possible by then going to “Options” to “Licence” to “Get Licence.” The user must allow the phone to connect to the internet, and a “List of Options” tag will appear. Under this the user should choose “Lifetime Free Licence” and Font Magnifier will then be ready for use.

The new Nokia C6 offers a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as the ability to get work e-mails in real time through Mail for Exchange and IBM® Lotus Notes® Traveler. It also includes chat options and the possibility to keep up to ten personal accounts on the phone, according to the Nokia website.

The addition of World Traveler to this new device promises to significantly extend the Polish company’s already formidable reach.

“We’ve had a good run with World Traveler, but I have the feeling that we are only beginning to tap our potential,” Filipiak said. “Combining Nokia’s cutting-edge devices with World Traveler’s ever-expanding, open platform should be a win-win situation for not only Psiloc and Nokia, but also for the user.”
