What Is It?

www.mobile9.com is a site that provides free downloads for your mobile phone. With up to 6 billion downloads found on the site, this is like the ultimate database for any mobile phone software that you want. You might have seen a game on someone’s phone and you’ve always wanted it, here is a place where you can possibly find that game. Mobile 9 offers anything from ringtones to wall papers to games. You can really kit up your mobile phone with this site because they have everything right from unit converters to dictionaries to translators on your mobile phone and this could be really useful. Also, you have the pick of the games and themes for your phone if you want to give your mobile phone a full make over. Mobile 9 is a site where you can upload your own mobile phone software or you can download ones that other people have made. Most of the time, what you download is the work of other people. Some games that you might have found in a mobile phone are just made compatible by other users for your mobile phone.

How Does It Work?

Basically, you sign up to Mobile 9 with a username and password that is free. This way you have unlimited downloads and you don’t have to wait for the site to load up for your download. Then you go to the gallery, enter your mobile phone model and what kind of software you want. You can pick any software from the list Mobile 9 gives you which could be a ring tone or a theme or maybe a Java application. And then if you have a set game or theme in mind, you can enter it in the key words section or you can just search until you hit the one you want. After downloading it, either through Bluetooth or through a USB chord that should be provided with your mobile phone, you can put the software that you download into the ‘Other’ or ‘Applications’ section of your phone. If it is something like a wall paper, that is good to go in the ‘Pictures’ folder of your mobile phone or if it is a theme that you download, it can go into (quite obviously) the ‘Themes’ section of your mobile phone. It is extremely simple.

Most of the items you download off this site should be compatible with your phone and should work without any problem at all provided you download the software correctly and put it into the right folder of your mobile phone.

What Else Is There To Offer?

If you are a software developer, you can make your own software or upload your own ringtones or wall papers onto the site and share them with other ‘M9’ers. You can rate other software that you download and leave comments if it isn’t working so that the person who uploaded that software can come back to you and solve any problems you may have. For the slightly more tech savvy of you, there are forums and other sections where you can discuss mobile phones all day long.

Are There Any Drawbacks?

Well, yes, unfortunately. For some phones, for example, the Apple iPhone, you can’t find any applications or software. There are other things you can download but Apple is very particular about you having to buy their own software. Also, for other phones, sometimes you may not be able to find a specific application or game that you want purely because it isn’t available. But if you searched on the internet, I’m sure there are other sites that could possibly offer the software you are looking for. Another very small drawback is that sometimes, you may download things that aren’t compatible with your phone. There could be more than one user who has a version of what you are looking for so you may have to download two or three of them because in some cases, one user’s version might not work in your phone.

My Verdict?

This is a brilliant site to really kit up your phone and it is extremely useful. Things like dictionaries and translators can be easily available to you just by hitting a few buttons on your mobile phone so I’d fully recommend it to any one. The best bit is that if you don’t like any software that you download for your phone, you can always delete it and get new games or wall papers for your phone. The site is very simple to use and downloading the bits and bobs shouldn’t be an issue. Of course, the iPhone is a major brand now and not to have applications for that seems a bit unintelligent but after all, there are many other users with other phones and this site can cater for them.

Its Long Term Survival?

Mobile 9 isn’t very popular yet. It could be a big name soon enough and I genuinely hope it does because this site does wonders to your phone and makes your mobile phone more than just a mobile phone. It helps to create the ultimate piece of gadget for you and I don’t for once doubt it’s usefulness in your phone but there are other competitors for this phone for example www.zedge.net and www.mobango.com and probably many others but these sites are no where as good as www.mobile9.com in terms of the number of items to download on the site and compatibility. I suggest that all of you start kitting up your mobile phone with the wonders that Mobile 9 has to offer.
