We are delighted to be extending our relationship with T-Mobile and look forward to showing how Qix can deliver the latest services and relevant content suggestions to their subscribers."

The downloadable version is available to a selected number of T-Mobile UK subscribers with Nokia models N95, N73, 6120c and E51. Subscribers can download the software directly from T-Mobile's Web'n'Walk HomePage or from qix.zicorp.com/tmobile.
