Boingo Launches Wi-Fi Access for Selected Nokia Mobile Devices

10/19/07 – Santa Monica-based wi-fi hotspot network operator Boingo Wireless, has announced that Boingo Mobile, the company’s wi-fi service for mobile devices, is now available for selected Nokia phones.  The companies say that selected Nokia handsets and Internet tablets can automatically connect to Boingo’s network around the world.

Owners of compatible Nokia wi-fi enabled devices, including selected S60-based smartphones and Linux-based Internet tablets, can download and install Boingo Mobile and automatically connect to Boingo’s network around the world, the companies say.  The Boingo Mobile software identifies Boingo-enabled hotspots and automatically authenticates users with their Boingo account.

Boingo Mobile subscribers pay a monthly flat rate of $7.95 for unlimited high-speed Internet access at thousands of hotspots worldwide in places like airports, hotels, restaurants, cafes, and convention centers.  The company is offering the first month of service free for a limited time.

Boingo was founded in 2001 by EarthLink and Helio founder Sky Dayton.
