Ovi Suite Updated, Closer To Final Release

By The Guru on September 18, 2009

Ovi Suite is the culmination of all Nokia’s various PC Suites into a single application, with close ties to various Ovi services, such as Ovi Maps, Ovi Share, etc. The application has been in beta for quite a while now, recently growing up to Beta v2.0, with the ability to install applications onto your phone. Today, the team announced a new version, with specific attention paid to the photo sync feature, as well as other bugs and stability issues.

If you’re brave, you can download the new Ovi Suite 2.0 Beta from the Nokia Beta Labs. Keep in mind, this is a beta, and thus is not ready for full-fledged use. You will encounter issues, and the Beta Labs team would definitely appreciate if you could report those bugs in the Beta Labs forum, so they can document and address them.

While I have Ovi Suite 2.0 installed on my Asus 1000HE netbook, on my production machine, I’m sticking with plain-jane Nokia PC Suite. It’s rock solid, doesn’t crash, and is laden with features that the Ovi Suite 2.0 Beta still dreams of. What are you using? Do you like the media-centric features of the Ovi Suite 2.0 Beta, or do you prefer the functionality of the vanilla PC Suite?

    I’ll stick with the vanilla PC Suite. As you say, it performs solidly and does everything I need it to (sync, transfer files, install apps, update fw, phone backup, and tethering). I’ve found Nokia’s more media-centric pc apps to be real memory hogs and slow (running on XP anyway).

    PC Suite for me. I don’t sync photos to my PC and I use Nokia Music and Napster to sync my music. More importantly, I use PC suite to drag and drop Excel, Word and pdk documents to my phone for business use. Until Ovi Suite has the file manager feature I am not going to switch as it just doesn’t meet my needs.

    i don’t use either, unless is for updating my firmware. I like the idea of Ovi suite hekping me update different software in my phone. I just don’t like to sync my phone with my computer, I preffer to sync it with Ovi online, so I can access my info from any computer…
    I hope Ovi suite has an option of only updating the phone software without syncronizing it with my computer

    Ovi Suite is a huge mistake. It takes away usability and is a huge resource hog. Nokia seems unaware of how slow Ovi Suite is even on recent desktops – I do not see any new betas get faster. In fact, Nokia PC Suite feels like utorrent compared to Ovi Suite. Get your act together, Nokia.
