It's ok in theory, but in practice 99% of the Symbian apps are still outside of the OVI Store.]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/
And, it's not bad at all. The number of apps is low and too many are pay apps. But there is some progress. nokia should have had this available on ATT much earlier. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/

I have been using Symbian phones for almost 5 years now and i don't think i could get used to using the store instead of downloading apps from the internet :D]]>Jan 7th 2010 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/
absolutely not. With AT&T soon selling the iPhone, multiple Android handsets, multiple WebOS handsets, multiple Blackberrys, and WinMo devices, Nokia doesn't stand any sort of chance whatsoever.]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/

Since when was ATT the only carrier that existed in the world? You do realize, outside of the US, Nokia is dominant in basically every phone market.

Right now, Symbian is much like WinMo in that an App store of some sort doesn't mean much. The Ovi services when combined together could become rather powerfull. Nokia has the resources, question is will they develop Ovi in a manner similar to google's own services. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/very little nice app, a lot of garbage.]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/
Sounds kinda like.. Apple's App Store?]]>Jan 6th 2010 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/Jan 6th 2010 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/
The thing is, OVI store really isn't that bad. At all. It's simple, clean, neat and gets the job done in a quick manner and works anywhere and does not require you to synch.

I do not see OVI store being big and I doubt their intention is to have it grow big, unless it does so naturally. Ovi store is only 1 of the many services that is offered along with free email, free online storage/OTA synch, free files, free PC/Mobile synch, free calendar etc etc. Think MobileMe, except it's free for use.

Ovi store is a part of the Ovi suite of services and Ovi services are actually rather quite good and are superb value seeing as they are free. And get this, their aim is to target the next generation of users, not this generation. Ovi services are targetted at 3rd tier countries. It's a long term move to consolidate and build their future base and has less to do with current users; although they also can use the service.]]>Jan 6th 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/nokias-ovi-store-now-available-on-atandt-still-not-competitive1/
(Yes, there's a hack but nothing official.)]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:45AM
