February 9, 2007 (XTVWorld.Com) -- World-leading mobile software testing company Flander and Trolltech, the company that makes software faster to build and easier to use, today announced a partnership to boost Linux in the mobile phone market. Flander has joined Trolltech's Partner Program as a Premium Business partner.

In addition, both Trolltech and Flander are striving for excellent quality and cost efficiency. The grounds for cooperation are therefore very good. We are very pleased to partner with Trolltech," says Seppo Kolari, CEO of Flander.

"Trolltech is pleased to welcome Flander to the growing community of partners who provide best of breed products and services to Trolltech's Qtopia customers.
