A beta version of the new Download! for PC is now available via the Nokia Beta Labs website. Download! for PC allows you to easily download pre-selected content and copy it to your phone adding either a new look (themes, ringtones and wallpaper) or new applications and games. The PC version offers a way to reduce costs and to speed up download times.

This is a really good idea, it totally sidesteps the problem of networks that still charge too much for data. Also, it's probably a lot easier to manage large numbers of content files on a PC client than a phone client.
--A number of operators, rather short sightedly, remove the Download! client in their custom firmware versions as they see it as competition to their own offerings. --
Yet another reason to only buy sim-free phones. :-)

3 have it on the 6120 but (I assume) as I am not on X-Series it fails to load the catalogue. This is great news. I will be installing this when I get home.

Tested with the 6120 it may be, but (apparently) compatible it is not. grrrrrr.

It is compatible on the 6120.
You have to install the "D! Beta" application on the phone as well as the Download! application on the pc.
Works on 3 Branded 6120s too.

Nice idea but it takes 240+ MB to run on my pc and another 1mb on my phone. That's just too much for the kind of functionality that it delivers! And it needs installation of .NET version 3 as well! Why???
