If you’ve ever been travelling and decided to stop for the night without planning ahead, then you already know that most travel sites look horrid on your phone – for whatever reason, most of the big-name travel sites haven’t put alot of thought into their mobile-friendly versions, or hadn’t 6-7 months ago when I tried [...]
Nokia has been betting big on its Ovi Maps with free navigation, letting us know in a blog post this morning that it has been downloaded over 10 million times in the past 3 months, which is quite an achievement. The team has released an update today that supposedly makes Ovi Maps faster, better, and [...]
Earlier tonight, just before going to bed, I checked the Software Update tool on my Nokia N97. I don’t check this often, maybe once a week or so. Normally there’s nothing new here, but this evening I noticed a new update available – Ovi Music v11.4, apparently. The Ovi Music update is small, only 497k, [...]
One of the more curious Ovi services that Nokia has released, in my opinion, is Ovi Chat (and the accompanying Ovi Contacts app). It’s incredibly under-utilized, both by Nokia and by its target consumers. I’ve noticed fewer and fewer of my blogging friends being logged in, and almost none of my Nokia contacts seem to [...]
Nokia updated its Ovi Contacts online contact management tool not too long ago, adding supposedly better syncing, smoother operation, and other general improvements. It still won’t sync properly with my phones, but that’s beside the point. Today, Nokia introduced the updated version of Ovi Calendar, under the header of Ovi Organizer. The new Ovi Calendar [...]
I’ve asked for it for a long time, and Nokia finally relented, releasing Ovi Maps Own Voice. This app, available for free from the Ovi Store, lets you spend a few minutes recording your own voice to be used in Ovi Maps’ voice-guided navigation. Through the app you can record the 53 most often-used phrases [...]
You must have noticed that we, Symbian-Guru, now have an App available on OVI Store. The app is free , available worldwide, and is also the best way to keep in touch with our latest posts . Just like us, you too can create an app for OVI Store in minutes through OVI App Wizard. [...]
ViewRanger has been around for a while – I remember Steve Litchfield raving about it quite some time ago. However, the company has updated their Symbian client and released it on the various Symbian app stores – including Nokia’s Ovi Store. The new update includes a handful of cool features, such as the ability to [...]
Ovi Contacts is one of the handful of Ovi services that I actually use on a daily basis – it’s great for keeping in touch with my small list of Ovi contacts, and it runs quietly in the background of my phone, without using up much battery life or resources. It’s very handy, and integrates [...]
