Nokia Ovi Store 'getting back on track'

Posted: 25 June 2009

Despite some early problems, the Nokia Ovi Store is slowly going from strength to strength, it has been suggested.

In a post for the CCS Insight Blog, Ben Wood writes that "as a self-confessed phone addict" he was keen to see what the Finnish manufacturer could offer with an online application outlet when it launched last month.

However, he adds he was one of the many people that experienced problems with the company's answer to the Apple App Store - and this left a bad taste in the mouth of a number of Nokia customers.

Despite this, Mr Wood states the firm has recovered from these initial "wobbles" and has now managed to get the shop running properly.

"A month after launch, Nokia claims to have 3,500 items available for most of its phones. This is well below its initial target of 20,000, but the catalogue is still growing," he explains.

Many of the available downloads are fully compatible with the firm's most recent releases - the N86 and N97 - which were launched last week.
