Ovi Store… now open all over!

Ovi Store.

Ovi Store is now open in all countries. This store can be accessed by web browser on the phone or desktop computer or the S60 Ovi Store application. I have tried all and I’m quite happy about them. I have also tries to buy applications and the experience was nice and streamlined. There are tabs like Recommended, Featured, Latest, Video & Audio, Games, Application and so on adn of cause you can filter by payed and free also. There are also categories like Entertainment, Business, Social Network, Utility ect.

I would like more applications in the store. Most of the stuff is wallpapers and videos, but many of the applications I’m use to are also there.

All in all the experiance was quite good after the first crash 😉 but Nokia quickly fixed this with adding more servers and soon the service was running smooth again.
