The Nokia N97 comes pre-loaded with three months of free Boingo Wi-Fi. Like other native N97 applications (Contacts, Calendar), the Boingo application is pre-installed and cannot be removed. The first time you launch Boingo, a Boingo IAP (Internet Access Point) will be created under Internet Destinations. However, if you choose not to activate your free Boingo account, neither the application nor the IAP will interfere with your other connections.

If you wish to remove the Boingo IAP, simply run the “Boingo IAP Remover,” which removes the IAP (if present) from your device.

If at a later time, you wish to activate your free Boingo account, simply re-launch the application, which will re-create the Boingo IAP.

It appeared in the Android Market last week, and, today it’s official: Boingo’s Wi-Fi client for Android has escaped from the labs. The Android application will help you login to any Boingo hotspot, and we’re very pleased that it can also notify you proactively when you’re in a hotspot, with no more guess work.

To install the app, go to Market on your phone and search for Boingo.

With this official release support is now available. For any questions or comments, please email mobilesupport@boingo.com

Note that the neatest hotspot mapping function is not yet available as part of the client. Just install the Boingo Hotspot Map for Android Beta to get mapping support.

Boingo just made finding hotspots easier than ever! Our new application, a location-aware mapping utility, displays nearby Boingo hotspots on your Android phone.
