Club Nokia was a mobile internet digital distribution portal, similar to an App Store,[1] operated by Nokia to provide special offers, paid-for ringtones, picture messages and game content directly to members.[2][3][4][5] Following resistance from its mobile operator customers, Nokia partially closed the service and the brand became solely a consumer service and loyalty portal.[6][7]



History


Club Nokia was originally launched in 1997 to provide detailed product information and support about Nokia products.[4][8] In 1999 Club Nokia was developed into an integral multi-channel personalised service accessible by WAP, SMS or the World Wide Web, spawning a new industry for the provision of mobile content.[9] Consumers could join Club Nokia after buying a new Nokia device.[10] To download content, users were required to purchase credits obtained from authorised Nokia dealerships.[11][12] Content included additional game levels for e.g. Space Impact.[13][14]The picture messaging service was launched in Finland in December 1999.[15][16] In 2000, Amazon partnered with Nokia to enable purchasing of books from Amazon's catalogue via Club Nokia with WAP enabled mobile phones.[17]


In August 2000, Nokia signed a deal with music publisher EMI to provide EMI-owned songs as ringtones, available from the Club Nokia website or by sending an SMS message.[18][19][20][21] By November 2001, over 10 million consumers were subscribed to Club Nokia, and the enterprise was forecast to yield €1 billion in revenue by 2004.[8] However, the EMI deal proved controversial as it placed Nokia in direct competition with the mobile operators' own branded portals (e.g. Vodafone live! or T-Zones), who relied on the booming ringtones market for revenue and were wary of Nokia gaining a mobile content monopoly through Club Nokia as Microsoft had done in computing software.[3][22][23] Nokia argued customers used the carriers' mobile data to download content, but network operators remained resistant.[8][24][25] As a result, Nokia announced in September 2004 that the service for selling ringtones would close down, never having become the commercial success it was forecast to be, and Club Nokia became solely a customer service, loyalty and news portal.[8][6][7][26][27] On the back of investments made into Club Nokia, Nokia launched a new service Preminet to its operators, designed to distribute certified Java- and Symbian-based mobile software to make cell-phone applications easier to buy, sell, and distribute.[8]


In late 2007 the Club Nokia service was rebranded "My Nokia".[28] Nokia launched a new direct-to-consumer service in 2006 called Nokia Content Discoverer.[29] The term "Club Nokia" was since re-used as the name of a concert venue in Los Angeles, which has now been renamed The Novo by Microsoft.[1]
