In the upheaval that was our move to self-hosting and the associated problems we missed a few days of news and happenings, of note was the news that Ovi Suite 3.0, the desktop syncing, messaging and firmware update client for Nokia’s devices had moved out of Beta and into a full release.
The time has come once again, Ovi Daily App is hosting the “Must Have App of the Year Awards” where YOU can vote for your favourite mobile apps from the year gone in the six individual categories. Incredible – it feels like Yesterday we were voting for the first App Awards There’s a BIG incentive [...]
I think all of us here have borne witness to this, major US/UK blogs and their stance towards Nokia, Symbian and anything smartphone related originating outside of the US, the exceptions being HTC and Samsung for reasons obvious to anyone with eyes. The question is why? Why is it that Nokia get constantly lambasted for [...]
Word on the tweets: Ovi Store has reached another new record! Only 3 weeks ago we heard that they crossed the massive 3M/day download threshold. Now it’s up a further 16.7% to 3.5M/day. That’s 1.2775 billion a year if Ovi Store doesn’t grow any more (though we know this is just the beginning). Content, ringtones/themes [...]

Well that’s something none of us expected. Given Nokia’s push for MeeGo as their singular high-end solution to compete with (read: crush) iOS and Android and the amount of buzz that has been generated both within and external to the company about this coming OS, it’s rather surprising that one of the most important men [...]
Ovi Store downloads per day has grown to 2.3million. That’s 840 million annual downloads should Ovi Store stay at this level (ignoring the likelihood growths as 200,000 users sign up to Ovi every day – and more so with the launch of the Symbian^3 handsets). That’s quite a growth from the often mentioned 1.7 million [...]

There, many familiar Ovi services were discussed and explained by people working at Nokia/ Ovi like Jan Bonnevier aka ‘App man’, [...]
The thing about Nokia World’s is that there are soooo many little announcements always hidden and you have to dig through the news circles to find them and the new Ovi maps update is one of them. The new update is currently in beta and offers improved pedestrian and motorist features. Although note that this [...]
The following blog post was dropped into our comments section not long ago and having read it from end to end, I can sincerely empathize with the author and agree almost whole-heartedly with his views. I think the key takeaway from this article is that Nokia has an image problem and seems not to realize [...]
