BIG NEWS: Tube5800 Launches its Very Own App Store

Yeah, you read it right, we have just launched our very own App store, offering the largest collection of free and paid applications, games and themes for Nokia 5800 as well as other Symbian based devices. Our love for the iPhone killer, 5800 has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since we first got our hands on it. We have been striving hard to bring the best offers and contests to followers of our blog from day 1.

Your response has been phenomenal so far friends and to thank you all, we are now launching this App Store. Tube5800 is now the web’s ultimate source for news, rumors, contests, reviews and applications, games and themes for 5800. To make it sweeter, we have a special discount of 20% on all apps in the store exclusively for followers of our blog to celebrate the store launch.

You may have noticed the App Store tab and banner on top of all pages by now, thats where we are hosting the giant app store, which will be updated daily with some of the best applications, games and themes for the symbian platform. At the time of this launch we have more than 1000 goodies for Nokia 5800 alone. Users can find compatible items for other Symbian devices just by selecting their device in the top left sidebar.

We know how hard it is to find the right app/game for your devices and hence we have categorized the items into different categories and sub-categories along with an option of keyword search. The store will not only provide paid applications but also free applications and since we will be constantly updating our store with new software and software updates, we offer RSS feeds of our store to make it easier for users to keep themselves abreast with the latest offers in our store.

We have tried to make the store as user friendly as possible with one of the most intuitive checkout procedures on the web today. All you need to is to click on the “Add to Cart” button of the item you wish to purchase. The cart is conveniently situated at the top right corner and once you click on checkout, the webpage will direct you to the log-in page. You have to register as first time users and once you are registered with us, you can straightaway log-in for subsequent transactions.

Presently, we are accepting some of the most popular credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express in addition to Paypal accounts. We do respect your privacy and all credit card transactions are “Verisign secured” with strong encryption. While we have tried to make the whole shopping process as intuitive as possible, users should remember to add their device IMEI number for software registration. On confirmation of the transaction, users can download the item on a PC/Mac or select to receive the link directly on their mobile devices via SMS.

Remember we are users of apps like you and we know what problems app users face in stores. We have learned from our experience and hence are incorporating direct links to developer’s help desk for technical assistance specific to the item. Further, users can contact our very own customer support with their order/ billing related queries and we promise to answer the queries at our earliest. You also get a 30-day conditional refund guarantee at our store.

Have friends who are also into symbian devices? We have made it easier for sharing the applications/games etc with your friends by adding a bookmark and tell a friend button. Further,  if users  are not sure of buying an item, they can add the item to their watchlist (very similar to the watchlist of ebay). Our store also offers volume discounts on bulk purchases.

You have been reading our reviews for long now but now you can review an application on your own at the store and help other buyers in their pursuit and if you don’t have time for a full blown review, you can also rate the app on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.
