Global Race isn’t just for the E90 you know, it works on other Nokias too. What’s more, it’s a free download right now, so grab yourself a handful of handbrake and get in on the action. Or something.

What’s the point?

To enjoy Nokia’s Global Race you need an E90, right? WRONG! It’ll work with more mobiles than you’d think. Here’s how to get your hands on it.

Is it free?

Absolutely!

Sold! How do I do it?

Step 1 Park yourself in front of a computer and point its web browser to this page on the Nokia site. Scroll down the page, and hit the download link for Global Race. Agree to the terms and conditions, then save it to the desktop.

Step 2 Once you’ve downloaded Global Race, transfer it to your handset using Bluetooth or USB cable. Once its on your phone find the file using your mobile’s file manager and open it, or tap into the text message that turns up if you Bluetooth it.

Follow the instructions and install Global Race to your handset.

Step 3 Fire up your newly installed game from the ‘Applications’ menu on your phone. Control your car using the direction keys or the ‘4’ and ‘6’ buttons to steer. There’s no need to accelerate, the game can handle that for you (unless you tell it not to under the ‘Options’ menu).

Step 4 Grab extra tracks and bonus goodies by heading to the Global Racing site using your computer. Register a username and password, then tap them into the Global Race section on the game’s main menu. Be warned though, the text entry system is sluggish, so pick a short username and password to save yourself some tapping! Once you’re in, you’ll be able to download bonus tracks for free!

Step 5 Despite being crafted especially for the E90, Global Race will work just fine on any Nokia with a 3D accelerator chip. That means the N95, N93 and N93i can be instantly blessed with a bonus game. It will work on other handsets, although if they don’t have an accelerator chip you’ll struggle to squeeze any fun out of it!
