Ovi Store by Nokia is now open for an estimated 50
million Nokia devices. Customers can visit
store.ovi.com through their Nokia device browser to access/buy games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web
and location-based services and more.The store is not open to any U.S. Nokia phones yet and will available to AT&T customers in the future. Reviewers in the U.S. who tried to download apps, had all kind of problems. PCMag's Sacha Segan could not download apps to one of his devices. Robin Wauters at Tech Crunch notes that the website was slow and content became suddenly unavaiable. A note was recieved from Nokia stating that there were high spikes on the servers.
U.S. users will have time to wait to try out the store after the glitches are fixed.
In available countries, customers can update
their devices with the Ovi Store mobile application by selecting the
Ovi Store icon in the Download! folder on their device. The mobile
client is available in English, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish
and supports operator billing in Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Russia, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom. Globally, credit card
billing is available through the mobile application and the mobile
website. Additional countries, languages, devices and features will be
added throughout the year. AT&T plans to make Ovi Store available
to its customers in the United States later this year.
