Selling mobile applications and content
In this section, you'll find all the information you need to market and sell your products. We'll help you understand Nokia's channels and discuss operators and aggregators and give you contacts you can use to reach them.
Regardless of the channel you pursue, keep in mind that applications that have undergone the Symbian Signed or Java Verified™ Program process are especially attractive to channel decision-makers.
Nokia channels
Nokia offers both consumer and enterprise channels for developers. The consumer market channels are Nokia Software Market, Download!, and MOSH. Each has unique features and benefits to developers and end users alike. The enterprise channel is the Nokia For Business Channel Program.
