FON WiFi Connection Manager for Nokia Eseries

FON is a funky Spanish company with a cool idea - Share your WiFi broadband access at home/work and enjoy WiFi all over the world.

The thinking goes something like this… "why should you pay for Internet access on the go when you have already paid for it at home? Exactly, you shouldn’t." FON is hard at work creating a global community of people who get more out of their connection through sharing.

Earlier this week FON announced a partnership with Time Warner Cable which allows Time Warner Cable broadband subscribers to become FON community members and create FON access points via their home or business broadband connection.

Also announced is a FON WiFi Connection Manager for Symbian S60 3rd edition devices such as the Eseries.

The WiFI connection manager facilitates the automatic connection to FON Access Points (FONspots). It automatically detects nearby FON WiFi signals all around the world and assists you in connecting to them.

Once you have stored the connection preferences (including username and pas- sword) for your preferred FON WiFi signals, the FON WiFi Connection Manager detects those signals automatically and connects you to them.

Thanks Ola!
