Nokia is becoming the first mobile device vendor to ship smartphones with a default software application that allows its consumer electronics to easily connect to any Wi-Fi network in range. As these network proliferate throughout society with different "hot-spots," consumers are looking to connect with more than just their laptops. And with easy-connect software devices like the one being installed on this Nokia model, doing so is becoming much easier.

Hurdles have exisited for years between consumer electronics and Wi-Fi networks, mostly because of the requirement for a web browser to be able to log-in to the network. With software that handles this step instantly, users can access e-mail and chat with less of a hassle. Wireless carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T, who have already boomed in the hot-spot business, are certainly going to welcome this transition for their customers.
