NokiaviNe makes sense and will empower users
October 15th, 2008
The S60 Blog’s Dr. Anirudh Sharma has been considering the impact that NokiaviNe could have on a generation of mobile users, and reckons it could energise a range of different people.
He hasn’t trialled the alpha version on the N82 yet, but he has spent a lot of time talking to his friend Cj about it, and has concluded that the range of uses that the app has is sufficient to make it an outstanding addition to Nokia’s stable. Paired with Share on Ovi, it will enable users to carve their ‘own niche’ on the web, and it doesn’t eat as much battery as first feared.
What do you see the uses of NokiaviNe being? Do you agree with Ani’s empowerment thoughts? Jump over and share your thoughts.

Organise your life with Ovi
September 23rd, 2008
Over on his blog Wilfrid Wong tells his readers that he has been ‘jazz[ing] up’ his life using the services offered by Ovi.
Using the Share function allows photos to be fed into a live channel which also allows friends to add their own content. Downloading music is ‘relatively painless’, and the quality was comparable to other services. What impressed Wilfrid was the ability to send an attachment that is stored on your PC when one is on the go, a ‘useful feature to have’.
Has Ovi made your life easier? What do you think of the suite of services? Head over and let Wilfrid know your thoughts.

Life saving powers of Ovi
September 18th, 2008
Devin Balentina of The Nokia Guide fame has suffered a loss that Nokia power users dread – he has had the majority of his devices stolen.
Terrible in itself, and a damning indictment on the way the world is going, but think of the information that could have walked out of the door with the handsets. But what’s this? Ovi to the rescue? Yes, folks, clever Devin had the foresight to save all his pertinent details to Nokia’s servers using the Ovi Sync service, meaning his appointments, notes and contacts were safe.
Have you used the service yet? In light of Devin’s predicament, do you think it is a good idea? Jump over and let him know what you think.

Ovi replaces Flickr, MobileMe
September 11th, 2008
Zit Seng has written on his Superwall blog that he is using Ovi to replace a host of apps that are superseded and improved on by the suite of offerings from Nokia.
‘Who needs Flickr anymore’ he says ‘when Share on Ovi gives you virtually unlimited storage’ for your snaps? The 100MB per image seems to be the only limit, a fact that Zit can live with. He also reckons that the new Sync service from Ovi will easily replace all other similar apps due to its ease of use, which he reckons is a different user experience to Apple’s MobileMe.
Do you agree with Zit that Ovi is ‘amazing’? What uses have you put the services to? Jump over and let him know.

More Ovi Sync news
September 10th, 2008
Matthew Miller, the Mobile Gadgeteer, has been syncing the information on his Nokia device by using the Ovi Sync service.
He reckons it was ‘dead simple’, as all he did was select E71 (his current device of choice) from a drop down, and followed the instructions sent via text. All his contact, calendar and notes are now backed up on Nokia’s server. One minor gripe is the fact that Ovi as it stands won’t sync with Outlook, Google Calendar or other non-Nokia apps and services.
Have you used Ovi Sync? How did you find the experience? Head over and let Matthew know how it went for you.
