London, UK, 16th June, 2005 - Telcogames, a leading distributor of mobile games content, today announced it will distribute its catalogue of titles to mobile network subscribers worldwide using the new Preminet Solution from Nokia. Preminet is an end-to-end global sales channel for mobile content downloads that will make Telcogames' catalogue available to millions of consumers around the world who own Symbian OSTM and JavaTM-enabled handsets. Java is the leading platform for mobile software worldwide with over 350 million handsets in the marketplace, while Symbian OS is the most popular smartphone operating system in the world, running over two-thirds of the world's smartphones.

The Telcogames catalogue joins a growing roster of pre-tested and certified world-class applications and content available to operators in the Preminet Master Catalog. Telcogames has over 800 titles from 75 of the world's leading mobile game developers and publishers, from simple, original titles, to some of the world's biggest licenses and brands.

Jamie Conyngham, the Chief Executive Officer of Telcogames, said, "Nokia's Preminet solution offers a unique and valuable new channel to the consumer, based around Nokia's position as a trusted brand and provider in the mobile world. By joining Preminet we are adding a very flexible and comprehensive new channel to our global distribution network. We are delighted to be able to offer our content to users through such a respected partner."

Preminet helps content aggregators and developers, including the 1.6 million members of Forum Nokia - the world's largest mobile developer community - quickly and easily make more money from their Java and Symbian OS software. Analyst firm Ovum expects that within three years, annual shipments of Symbian OS smartphones will top 100 million per year, while the total number of Java-enabled phones in the market will be over 1.5 billion. Preminet is also air interface agnostic and works across GSM, CDMA and all other types of cellular networks.
