Nokia Forum has released a new service calleda RDA (Remote Device Access) that allows mobile developers to test and debug their mobile applications using remote device access (via Tommi).
Nokia introduced some months ago this possibility but now it's live !

Daniel Rocha  wrote about the service :

Remote Device Access (RDA) technology enables remote access to mobile devices over the Internet. The system consists of a device pool connected to a server, and users connecting to the server in order to remotely use the devices. Once a user has connected to a device, the screen of the device is transfered to the user’s desktop in real time. In addition, the user can install applications on the device, transfer files, and analyze log files in real time. This enables developers to test their mobile applications and services on various Nokia devices based on Symbian OS. RDA is an Internet-based solution, and the requirements for using the service are a standard Web browser and Java™ Web Start (typically comes with Java Runtime Environment, JRE).
