Nokia Drop updated to v1.4 beta, Brings Nokia Belle Support and New Features!


Nokia Drop is a simple and easy way to push content and notifications to your device from public websites*. Nokia Drop uses Push Notifications, so no cable or Bluetooth connection is needed.  With Nokia Drop you can:

  • Change your phone's wallpaper*
  • Send image to your phone*
  • Send public URL to your phone browser* (ie. Nokia Browser or Opera Mobile)
  • Send map view  from maps.nokia.com to Maps mobile client
  • Send feeds to Nokia Reader or to native browser web feed*
  • Install apps, wallpapers, themes, ringtones from Ovi Store without SMS**
  • New: Belle client; more automatic, no history list, integration to status panel, first-time-use help flow, Store&Forward, automatic update
  • New: Anna +S1: silent installation, first-time-use help flow, store&forward, automatic update
*Transfering pictures and URLs from private (intranet) or password-protected websites is NOT supported.  Wallpapers and images are sent as links and will be downloaded via the Nokia Drop application, so they must be in the public domain.  
**We are using Nokia Account to identify the user in the Web extension and in the device application end. So please remember to sign in with same account information in both ends. 
Store&Forward:
We are utilizing push notification server feature Store&Forward. This feature gives you an opportynity to send items to your device without that your client in the device is online. You will receive those after you choose to go online. There are some restrictions: there are limited amount items which can be stored and limited time when you can have those delivered to your client which is online. This features is also working with Nokia Store.
Belle version of the client:
Belle client version is more integrated to the device. We are utilizing more status panel and pop-ups. We are more automatic in Belle, so we have removed manual mode and we don´t have recent download -list anymore. But if you want, you can use Anna version also in Belle > then you have recent download -list and manual mode in use.

Automatic update:
We have added automatic update feature that you will get latest update of our client. Whenever there is newer version released, we will send you an "update drop" message (to recent download -list in Anna + S1 and to status panel in Belle). This item is available in manual mode despite do you have automatic mode selected or not. So you can choose by yourself when you want to download the updated client.
