Applications Account for 40% of Mobile Network Traffic in China

January 11, 2007

Third-party applications account for fully 40% of all mobile network traffic from S60 device users, finds a recent survey conducted by Nokia in China.

The most popular types of third-party applications were info-tainment, messaging, and multimedia. Nokia's China study, conducted between March and November 2006, included more than 1,000 users of Nokia S60 devices.

These users played more than 400 games during the survey period, including Snake, RallyPro Contest, Bounce, and Agent V. When S60 users send mobile multimedia messages with attachments, nearly 85% of those attachments are photographs.

And 55% of those surveyed added third-party applications to their S60 devices during the survey period, primarily games, multimedia, and utilities.

The most popular ways to obtain these third-party applications are via download from a computer, from an operator portal via the device, and from another Bluetooth technology-enabled phone.
