Customers can visit store.ovi.com through their Nokia device browser to immediately begin downloading, personalising and making their devices smarter and more fun with applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web and location based services and much more.
Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president for Nokia Services, stated: "Ovi Store is open for business and we've stocked the shelves with both local and global content for a broad range of Nokia devices. Ovi Store makes shopping for content and applications easy and fun for feature phone and smartphone owners alike."
In available countries, customers can update their devices with the Ovi Store mobile application by selecting the Ovi Store icon in the Download! folder on their device. The mobile client is available in English, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish and supports operator billing in Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Singapore, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Globally, credit card billing is available through the mobile application and the mobile website. Additional countries, languages, devices and features will be added throughout the year. AT&T plans to make Ovi Store available to its customers in the US later this year.
Ovi Store is an evolving media service that consolidates Nokia's existing content services into a one stop shop for free and paid content. Thousands of the content industry's biggest names along with independent application developers are distributing their media, applications and games through Ovi Store.
