Hello...

I am a programmer at Tin Can Games, a new company who are initially focusing
our efforts on nokia devices (series 30, 40 and 60). We have a couple of
finished games, but are a little short on information about who has what
phones, how many people are downloading games, etc. So can I ask anyone who
has a moment to answer a couple of questions:

1. What model of phone do you have.
2. Have you ever downloaded games for it (and if so, where do you download
them from).
3. What sort of games would you be interested in playing in the future.

Thanks.

Oh, and if anyone wants to take a look at our website at www.tincangames.com
and let us know what you think we should add to it (until we have more
content, its looking a little sparse). Would an FAQ on how to set up your
phone and download games help? Any other ideas?

Again - many thanks for your time.

Danny.
Programmer.

Thanks for the reply, Jeff.

Looks like they've done a pretty thorough job on Zillions.

If you'd like to try our games out, there are demos that can be downloaded
for free from Handango.

Search for either Tugboat Turmoil, or Power Up.

Actually - TT isn't available for the 3650 yet (still working on it) - but
Power Up is.

Any feedback you can give us would be greatly appreciated.

Danny.
