Thanks to tips from several people, I’m excited to let you know that the global Ovi.com website has now officially launched! The new site brings all of Nokia’s online services and entities together in one, and adds a few new features, as well. The new site uses your Nokia Account, just like Files on Ovi and other new services, so that you have one single sign-on.
While the Games, Maps, and Photos all link to N-Gage, Maps, and Share on Ovi, respectively, we have 2 new features, calendar and contacts. These new features are encompassed in the new Sync on Ovi, which allows you to wirelessly synchronize your phone’s calendar and contacts to your Ovi account, for free! To setup the sync, there is a really simple option to download the settings directly to your phone, and then you can manually choose to synchronize with the server anytime you please! Any changes you make are synchronized between your device and your online set, and you can conveniently use the web service to edit your contacts’ details and then sync those changes back to your phone!
It appears as though Sync on Ovi also allows you to *finally* create contact groups on the web and then sync those back to your phone, or vice versa, though we’ve not tested that feature quite yet.
Go check it out for yourself, and stay tuned to Symbian-Guru.com as we’ll be back soon with an in depth look at these cool new services!
