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 [...]
It’s no secret that I’ve been disappointed with Ovi Contacts since it was first launched. The service, which allows you to store an online backup of your phone’s address book, is able to synchronize with your handset via SyncML, though no Nokia device currently offers the ability to automate the synchronization process without a third [...]
The Ovi Mail service has been updated today, adding a few new features here and there, most notably support for Arabic, as well as the integration of Ovi Contacts in the address book (finally). Nokia is betting big on Ovi Mail, and it’s easy to see why – in many countries, the first time users [...]
While the rest of the world woke up at 1am to go camp out at Best Buy in the hopes of saving $200 on a new HDTV, our friends in Nokia’s Ovi Services department were apparently busy, releasing updates for both Ovi Contacts and Ovi Maps. The updates bring a few new features, as well [...]
One thing that you can’t fault Nokia for is constantly asking for user feedback. Whether it’s through the Nokia Beta Labs, random questionnaires, or even the numerous Nokia employees who scour the various forums and blogs on the Internet to find out what people are saying about the company and its products, they’re definitely listening.

These updates include new versions of Nokia Messaging, Ovi Contacts, and finally the N-Gage application that was promised to be available when the phone launched over a month ago. Curiously, there was also a ‘phone memory update’ included, though some [...]
The Nokia N97 was promised to be the first device integrating the whole Ovi suite of software and services that Nokia has been shouting about for more than a year now. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been my experience with the trial unit I received. On my unit, I only had Share Online 4 and the Nokia [...]
In addition to Ovi Maps leaving the Nokia Beta Labs, Ovi Contacts has just been updated, finally offering support for S60v5 phones such as the 5800 XpressMusic and N97 (has anyone tried it on the Samsung i8910?). If you’re the lucky owner of a Nokia N97, you even get more functionality, as the Ovi Contacts [...]
In case you missed it, earlier this week the Nokia Beta Labs released an update for Contacts on Ovi, specifically for S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 phones, like my Nokia N79. The update mostly fixes bugs, specifically improving the search feature, so that it’s easier to find your contacts. However, there’s something hidden in [...]
