Finndesign: Jewels for Your Phone
OviPublisherSuccesses | 01 March, 2011 21:02

Finndesign specializes in improving the aesthetic design of software products. Although they describe their typical client as an international high-tech company, Finndesign aims to bring more design choices to mobile users around the globe. Releasing nine themes for Nokia devices, Finndesign has received over 3.6 million downloads on Ovi Store from fashion-hungry users in more than 190 countries.

Finndesign, an industrial design company, has over 15 years of extensive experience in the personalization of high-end products. Their mission is to tailor optimal usability and aesthetics for any kind of software on any kind of platform. When creating downloadable themes for Nokia phones, Finndesign has remained true to their mission.

Finndesign's app design team is comprised of three designers who work with a network of freelancers to design bold and decorative themes. The company, located in Helsinki, Finland, is dedicated to publishing themes that have a consistent look and feel across multiple Nokia devices and eliminate typical consumer concerns over technicalities. Embracing this strategy in their app development process, Finndesign ensures they only publish high-quality themes, compatible with the widest coverage possible among 116 Nokia devices including Series 40 and Symbian and Maemo. Proof of the company's success is in the growing download numbers on Ovi Store.

"Ovi Store provides a convenient channel to globally distribute mobile content," said Jukka Tuominen, Managing Director at Finndesign. "By making the distribution process easier, Nokia allows us to solely concentrate on our own expertise of app design."

Finndesign's themes, dubbed as Phone Jewels, add a dimension of personalization with a touch of sparkle. Using Nokia's advanced features such as Nokia's Carbide.ui – a technology that allows developers to access all the customizable theme elements (i.e. icons and wallpapers) in the Symbian user interface – the company designed each Phone Jewel to appear as vivid and distinct from the other themes within the set.

While the external interface to theme design is simple, the internal process for Finndesign is complicated and varies significantly depending on the supported devices. Across a span of eight weeks, a theme must pass through both artistic and technical phases as well as a rigorous testing phase on compatible devices.

Finndesign's fashionable themes, developed for both Series 40 and Nokia Symbian devices, are optimized for the majority of Nokia Series 40 (5th and 6th) edition and Symbian (5.0 and 3.x) devices. Each theme is modeled after a precious stone: black diamond, amethyst, aquamarine, amber, rhodolite, ruby, emerald, sapphire, and diamond. Aiming to provide multiple customization options, Finndesign encourages users to download each theme and change accordingly to match any and every mood, outfit and occasion.

One user said, "The themes are beautiful; perfect for my phone" and another user raved, "These themes look fabulous. I highly recommend them for your Nokia mobile device."
