Ovi RSS FeedOvi lets you share your life
September 5th, 2008
The guys at the Nokia Zone have posted about Ovi and the potential it has for sharing discoveries and keeping your friends posted about your movements.
They discuss Nokia’s aims to let their portal be the main repository of file sharing (images and videos) available to mobile device users. Citing newer devices such as the 6220 and N96 as those with Ovi integrated, allowing users quicker access to uploading. The Nokia Zone guys say that by pushing out your life for others to share through your pics and videos it helps encourage growth of the community.

Nokia email is ‘a better solution’
September 5th, 2008
Darla Mack, the mobile diva, has written about how she sees mobile email developing.
She recognises that users want to check email on the move and then delete messages from both the device and the server at the same time. But she wants to be able to get rid of them on her handset, and check them later. She says Nokia Email gives users and ease of set up, no hidden fees and the enhancement of the device’s capabilities. She likes the way the service is heading, and is looking forward to future developments.
Have you got Nokia Email on your device? What do you think? Head over and let Darla know.

Ovi Sync for beginners
September 2nd, 2008
Cj has posted on his ZOMG blog about the ease of using Ovi’s new Sync service, and to prove it he’s done a step-by-step guide.
Complete with screen shots and clear instructions, Cj walks us through the new Ovi Sync service. He says that by utilising Sync, users can back up all the information from their device (by using a data connection such as WiFi), then retrieve it when necessary (in the event of a lost handset for example) with no need for your own PC to be involved. He concludes by saying that the service is a really ‘useful feature’.
Have you used Ovi Sync to store your information yet? What do you think of the idea? Head over and let Cj know what you think.

Ovi Sync feels the forum love
September 1st, 2008
There are threads on most of the big forums that are burgeoning with comment about the new Ovi Sync site.
The Symbian Freak discussion includes comments like ‘awesome’ from NZtechfreak and that it ‘looks killer’ from krisq. acurrie from the Howard Forums thread says he has been waiting for this feature ‘forever’ and itszmk71 reckons the launch is ‘great news’. Loads of positive comment coming then, the only slight gripe being when things didn’t work out straight away, but eventually things sorted themselves out.
Have you tried this service yet? What do you think? Jump into either of the discussions to have your say.

Share on Ovi a non-starter
August 29th, 2008
Matthew, writing on Darla Mack’s site, has posted his thoughts on why he thinks Share on Ovi won’t succeed.
He says the service leaves him feeling ‘frustrated and underwhelmed’, and the lack of 3rd party apps (only Shozu after a year of having their API available) is driving him to distraction. He also has issues with Share on Ovi being exclusively for Nokia users, and specifically S60 users, saying that it leaves ‘50% of the world in the cold’. He also would like to see the site be ‘easy and intuitive’, which at the moment he doesn’t think it is.
Do you agree with Matthew? Are you a Share on Ovi user, or even an advocate? Jump over and let him know your thoughts.

Ovi Music Store experience
August 22nd, 2008
A couple of users have tried Ovi’s new Music Store, with varied success.
JFRobinson from The New Digital Cinema blog attempted to use a Mac running Safari but ran into a closed Ovi (door) by not meeting the specifications of running Internet Explorer on a PC. He tried the mobile route with his Nokia 6555, only to be told he needed an Nseries device. Stuart Sheridan on his blog, however, has a completely different take on the site (although does highlight the fact that IE has to be used), saying it is ‘fantastic’ and a ‘sensational experience’. With some clear screen shots, Stuart shows what lies in store.
Have you tried the Music Store yet? Have you been successful? Head over and let the guys know if your experiences were any better.

Ovi + Facebook = happy campers
August 21st, 2008
Ravindra from the Symbian-Life blog has written about his experience with the recently announced Share on Ovi app to be found over at Facebook.
Originally when the app was announced, Ravindra was excited at the prospect, believing it to be the answer to his slideshow troubles, but was thwarted by teething troubles. Now fixed, he says that this is the ‘coolest application’ on Facebook, letting him share all his Ovi slideshows with his Facebook friends. He says it’s ‘easy and simple’ and urges users to try it out, so your N82 snaps get seen by your nearest and dearest.
Have you implemented this on your profile yet? What do you think of the service? Head over and leave Ravindra a comment.

Speed up your S60 device
August 19th, 2008
Sometimes tips turn up in ones and twos in various blog posts and forum threads, but tarak on the Noeman forum has consolidated lots of tricks into one handy list.
Some will be well known to long time users, but those new to S60 might be looking for ways to speed up their experience. Hints like setting log durations to one day instead of thirty, and using numerical keys to navigate menus are old hat to most S60 owners, but tricks like keeping your firmware updated will be useful for newbies/normobs.
Can you add to the list? Is there one overriding tip that speeds up your experience? Join in the conversation and share it with other users.

Ovi – solving your digital crisis
August 18th, 2008
Arie Wijaya writes on his blog about looking forward to sorting out his digital life with Ovi.
He says that the service will reach into your PC and sync all your files through the online portal, in a concept that Arie likes for its ‘simplicity’. It’ll also mean that the N95 he has will be able to access the digital files (we’re talking photographs, videos, music) while he is miles away from his PC. The only caveat that Arie says is attached to the service is the fact that connection is needed via Wifi to get the best results.
Are you going to organise your digital life using Ovi? Do you think it is a good concept? Head over and let Arie know what you think.

Share your Nokia life through Facebook
August 14th, 2008
Over on the Symbian Guru pages, Dotsisx has been busy letting her friends know what she’s up to, by connecting linking her Share on Ovi account to her Facebook profile.
She lists the various ways in which your mobile can talk to the site, including the Share on Ovi option of show a slideshow of your images. If you have Shozu installed, then these pics will be displayed instantly. The Nokia Nseries widget will display your latest Sports Tracker results, whilst Live Status will show others the…well…status of your device. Along with other functions, keeping your friends updated is quite straightforward.
Have these suggestions improved your Facebook profile? Have you got any other ideas of how to keep your status up to date? Jump over and let Dotsisx know.
