Astraware are looking for beta testers! Right now, we're looking for people with Symbian S60 and UIQ 3rd Edition devices to help us with testing our first games for these platforms. S60 and UIQ users are equally welcome, but please see the list of devices we're expecting to support below. Unofortunately if you own an older device we won't be able to include you in the beta team at the moment.
Apart from being one of the first people to play our Symbian games before anyone else does, one of the biggest advantages of being an Astraware beta tester is that if you help with the beta of a new game, once it's released we send the testers involved a free registration code for it - the more new games you help test, the more you'll end up getting for free!
One point to be noted is that all our beta testers must sign a non-disclosure agreement, and so you must be 18 years old or over.
All our beta tests are conducted through our forums, so you'll want to sign up to those first.
Once you've done that, visit the beta testing information page to look over the details, as well as instructions on how to get hold of the NDA and what to do with it!
The list of devices we need testers for is shown below.

Nokia N series - except the N800, N810, N90, N70 and N72
Nokia E series - no exceptions
