network, announced today that the company has been chosen along with only seven others to demonstrate at the prestigious “Forum Nokia” zone as part of this week’s 2008 Symbian Smartphone conference. WeFi will demonstrate a version of its free software for the Nokia S60 mobile phone series, offering users automatic access to the best Wi-Fi connection available.

Forum Nokia partners with third-party software developers to maximize the value of Nokia devices by fostering the creation of engaging applications and services that deliver rich new experiences for end users, additional revenue flows for operators, and exciting business opportunities for developers and Web designers.  Today, Forum Nokia serves a large, active software developer base with more than 3.6 million registered members, making Forum Nokia the world’s largest mobile developer network.

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.

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 7 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.

In addition to the WeFi service for Nokia S60 users, WeFi also offers mobile application providers advantageous integration opportunities which enable maximized user experience, faster Internet access and the reduction of data costs, by utilizing WeFi’s Global Virtual Wi-Fi network.
