IRVINE, CA – Volvo Cars of North America has partnered with Mobileplay, a mobile content delivery company, to introduce a new car configurator that runs on BlackBerries, Treos, Windows Mobile Smartphones, and other smart mobile devices.

The Volvo configurator allows individuals to configure their Volvo, including exterior color, interior fabrics, wheels, drive system, and options packages. The configurator displays the buyer’s choices and allows them to contact a Volvo dealer, if desired, to place the order. Designed to promote the 2006 Volvo XC70 (Cross Country) and Volvo XC90 SUV, the configurator was developed and will be distributed by Mobileplay, which develops advertising and free content delivery technology for smart mobile devices.
