if you use ovi store link still says not there, thats just store.ovi.mobi I think that link has always worked.

[slaxium]

Yes but ... why only you? :(

[eltinio]

Netherlands still coming soon.

Didn't the n900 released first in Italy? Maybe the same routine for the ovi store.

[debian]

if you use ovi store link still says not there, thats just store.ovi.mobi I think that link has always worked.

I can confirm.

[andrewfblack]

btw going to sote.ovi.mobi brings up a page that has applications there trying to download them opens application manager and it tried to install them but you get an error that the package can't be downloaded because the package can't be found.

[smage]

ok I tried to download one of the games, but it failed due to a package problem.

Ovi added a new repository when I clicked on download and the rpository is:
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi/
distribution ./
catalog name Ovi

[bbns]

just need more apps! wonder if I reflash my N900, I could still redownload the paid apps though.

[andrewfblack]

Same here would say that the site is up but the repo isn't, but I think the site has been up for a while now I might be wrong either way false alarm.

[NvyUs]

ovi repo as now been added to my app manager but most apps from ovi store are missing so when u click download in broswer installation fails
edit: since enabling ovi repo there is now updates for bounce, tune wiki and pixelpipe

[x61]

Falls alarm!!!

[slaxium]

That are all applications that i can install from the Nokia reprositories. With the new one.

[raullugo]

Still coming soon in Toronto; Canada

[andrewfblack]

That are all applications that i can install from the Nokia reprositories. With the new one.

those are all under regular Nokia Repositories

similar when you try to download a ringtone... you can download and save it, but it won't play on your device.

[mthmob]

How do i set up for regular nokia repository? cause i cant find any of them under the ones that came installed in the phone.

I mean.. f.ex solitare touch.. that one is interesting, but nowhere to be found ;(

[VDVsx]

similar when you try to download a ringtone... you can download and save it, but it won't play on your device.

Same for a trailer, it downloads ok, but the file has a strange extension .dm (http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/dm) .
Well at least we know that some more free stuff is coming :D

[RevdKathy]

Still 'coming soon' in the UK.

Is that a card game I see in the store???

[smage]

Yeah there are some new games, which fail to download sadly :)

At least this means new stuff is coming out soon :P

[tissot]

Nothing from Finland either. Would think we would be one of the first to get it.

[RevdKathy]

I wonder if someone didn't 'accidentally' click something and make it visible before it was intended, if things aren't actually downloading properly.

[iJanne]

Yeah, the OVI icon not working from here either (another one from Finland). The link mentioned in this thread does display some content, didn't try downloading it since I assume it is not ready yet. But the OVI icon still gives "coming soon" as does the OVI link on the browser first page.

[VDVsx]

You need to try this link in the N900 browser: http://store.ovi.mobi
I only could download some media, but all of these files are drm protected :(

[Ovek]

DRM?! I guess we are going to look forward to that then with the next FM update ;)

[evil_m0nkey]

Coming soon in Toronto. Canada

[VDVsx]

Not a expert in the area :), but the files have this extension: .dm (http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/dm)

[jrkalf]

not sure what's going on.

I can log in to the ovi store site (store.ovi.mobi) and log in with my ovi account and it automagically updates my pixelpipe plugin and Bounce Evolution. I also double checked they came from that specifici ovi store repository.

It can't however install application directly from the mobile website if I press download on an item. So no backgammon for me yet :(

[varunkrish]

I just hit store.ovi.mobi and it added a repository to my n900 and then i see updates for bounce , pixelpipe , evernote and qik ?

[bkmgtpe3]

I just hit store.ovi.mobi and it added a repository to my n900 and then i see updates for bounce , pixelpipe , evernote and qik ?

Yeah, we all have had that... Does anyone know what is new in the updates to Qik and Bounce?? I haven't played with them extensively, but I cannot tell so far.

[kev30]

ovi store is live in the US. just downloaded it

edit: nm i got confused and thought it was the ovi suite. ovi store on the phone still says 'coming soon'

[Walsted]

ovi store is live in the US. just downloaded it

What did you download ?

I am also seing the store now - but when I try and download Backgammon it fails and says the file is missing :(

[kanishou]

I just downloaded solitaire, and it's actually quite good. Bad thing for productivity though.

If the application is live, could you please provide a way to download it ?

Thanks !

Here's the link from nokiausa.com

http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-software/software/ovi-suite/compatibility-and-download

Select the N900 and it should provide a download link.
I'm not sure if there's any difference between regions (besides the language) so YMMV.

There you go.

[kev30]

Thanks for the link. I think this software isn't new, but I'm not sure.

Hmm. Because when I went there the other day, it only had the old nokia pc suite and the n900 wasn't listed. Today, the N900 was on the list and it shows the ovi store.

[Aweb]

It seems Ovi Suite isn't compatible with the N900 here in Europe, even when I download from the US website.

[Laughingstok]

I downloaded the Ovi Suite and it didn't recognize my N900. It said the N900 was not compatible. In Kentucky (United States) here.

[osomanos]

I think Ovi Suite 1.1 is compatible with the N900 but version 2.0 is not.

[kev30]

yea i just tried it too and its not yet compatible with the n900. man thats stupid. you wouldve think nokia add their flagship n900 to it.

edit: its weird how it says v1.1 but when it actually install its 2.0.1.35

[iJanne]

I too can access the URL given in this thread and browse the store as well as log in, but downloading applications (tried a few games) did not work. At times it seems to download something and then fails.

I guess this is why the store is not yet open anyways... maybe they are still in the process of getting it fully operational and some markets are more ahead than others?

[iJanne]

yea i just tried it too and its not yet compatible with the n900. man thats stupid. you wouldve think nokia add their flagship n900 to it.

Sorry to tote this old horn, but N900 is not Nokia's flagship, it is a tech-head Internet tablet with phone. Maemo is a work in progress and with regards to the OVI Suite too.

Expect lots more incomplete things. It should not be a surprise.

[WilliePre]

I tried it, using OVI v2.0.1.35, but no go. he error message states that the N900 ins not supported.
So nothing has changed (yet ?). Hopefully something will happen (change) soon?:rolleyes:

[yerga]

Folks, let's chill out a bit ;)

Read this tweet: http://twitter.com/JGallo02/status/6535746659


Nokia's currently running internal tests on Ovi Store 4 N900. It’s not live or open 2 downloads. An update will be coming soon


And said that, you can to install applications from that repository with apt-get. I'm not going to say how because is said in many places.

There are a lot of simple games and applications from offscr (http://www.offscr.com/). What I find more interesting is that they are done with Qt.

[acano]

here in spain we also have that comming soon....

[x61]

Got this error message when trying to install:
Unable to download 'offscr-solitaire'. Application package not found

How he managed to install it on his is the question.

[slaxium]

apt-get install offscr-solitaire
host timeout

sorry my mistake. i know its expected that there are bugs to be iron out.

at first, i was confused as i thought the ovi store is the suite for the pc. found out the store was on the n900 (which still say coming soon on my phone).

[slaxium]

ok I coud install Solitaire with apt get and it works.

as proof:

[iJanne]

OK, could install Solitaire with apt-get install offscr-solitaire. Seems to work great.

[iJanne]

Also working:

apt-get install offscr-cube

A quite nice Rubik's Cube 3D game.

[Megacrazy]

OK, could install Solitaire with apt-get install offscr-solitaire. Seems to work great.

Same here....worked fine.

[iJanne]

I don't know if this changed anything, but before using apt-get I did log into the URL above and tried to download the games from OVI Store - this did start the app manager and did add the OVI repository.

I guess without this the apt-get would not have found the packages.

Earlier in this thread there are manual instructions for adding the OVI repository too.

[fiendskillz]

sorry for being a noob but, what do you mean you used app-get? where can i get it?

[iJanne]

sorry for being a noob but, what do you mean you used app-get? where can i get it?

First: I don't recommend doing this if you are a noob without Linux experience.

But what it means is got to xterm (press ctrl+shift+x for example) and type for example the command: apt-get install offscr-solitaire

It fetches the package from an online repository and installs the application. Instructions for adding the required OVI repository are earlier in this thread.

Do not do this unless you understand what you are doing, so please Google and research this beforehand!

[slaxium]

First you must install rootsh, to get root accses in the x terminal.
If you have rootsh go to x term an type:

root
apt-get install offscr-solitaire

or offscr-speedometer for the other appli

[Thor]

i've installed both cube and solitaire. Are these optified?
As ever, once it's official, I'll uninstall and re-install the official one, makes it easier for updates.

[raullugo]

I think you are right about that. As I understand it the N97 is Nokia's Flagship device...

[Bundyo]

apt-cache search offscr

The apps are optified.

[mivoligo]

sorry for being a noob but, what do you mean you used app-get? where can i get it?

For training you can type: apt-get moo

[Thor]

apt-cache search offscr

The apps are optified.

I'm not sure, I've installed a few of them and now trying another and it says not enough disk space.

[Bundyo]

Well, I'm seeing their files in /opt/offscr*... However, when you use apt-get, be sure to check your /var/cache/apt/archives for any leftovers...

[iJanne]

This is what the Cube looks like:

Just press Ctrl+Shift+P and the appear in the directory Pictures/Screeshots or something like that.

[Thor]

Aha, I see all the .deb files saved there, thanks for the hint! I'll move them over to an archive folder elsewhere :)

[christexaport]

iJanne, the N86 is the 3rd Edition S60 flagship, the N97 is for 5th Edition, and the N900 is the Maemo flagship at the moment, and Nokia's flagship OS is Maemo, so why wouldn't it be Nokia's flagship?

Because Nokia's flagship os is Symbian.

[mthmob]

well i tried, det apt-get install command

seems like it can't because of some dependency called libqt4-gui. maybe i should just wait for official release. :)

[Thor]

it's getting dependencies for me as well. use

sudo gainroot
apt-get install offscr-solitaire

for example.

To clean up downloaded .deb files

cd /var/cache/apt/archives
ls
[you should see a bunch of .deb files, check they are the ones you installed, then...]
mv *.deb /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/

And then you can delete them manually from File Manager app.
I'd rather not say how to delete *.deb just in case anything goes wrong!

Edit: You can replace * with the filename if there are other .deb files in there that you don't want to move.

thx :) worked like a charm, and deleted the deb files after.

[orig_nuttah]

I have installed rootsh and used the command to install solitaire
root
apt-get install offscr-solitaire
and now going back to the original ovi website, trying to download backgammon touch, i get an error saying...

/var/tmp/LYuQnvJs.part could not be saved, because of an unknown error occured.

Try saving to different location.

how do i fix this? :/

You probably know a lot more than I do! It's been 10 years or so since my Unix use. Thanks!

[iJanne]

iJanne, the N86 is the 3rd Edition S60 flagship, the N97 is for 5th Edition, and the N900 is the Maemo flagship at the moment, and Nokia's flagship OS is Maemo, so why wouldn't it be Nokia's flagship?

Well, because Nokia executives says it is not?

Maemo is, as announced by Nokia, at 4 out of 5 - one step from consumer smartphone readiness. It is not yet ready to be a flagship and they know it - thus the announced it accordingly.

Go to any Nokia site and check out which phones are listed first in their product pages. The N97 models. That is the current flagship because N900 is not yet a full consumer smartphone and Maemo is not yet ready to carry flagship torch content etc. wise.

[christexaport]

Fair enough. I was asking for your specific opinion. I am satisfied with the answers, and agree philosophically. I'm just wondering if that changes with M6? Thanks for the Linux help, guys. Enjoying the new games. How did you figure out the filename to download from the repo, btw?

[NvyUs]

IMHO maemo is no where near being Nokia's flagship OS, it as ability to become so but we are still a year away from a main stream version of maemo and releasing it don't automaticly mean it will become so, that's up to the consumer to decide not the people pushing it

[christexaport]

Its just my flagship. But I certainly agree. In a year, Maemo will be pretty nice kit.

[joshua.maverick]

Nokia tried to position the n900 as "non-flagship", but for some reason, their marketing execs, don't get it. It is the flagship.

[NvyUs]

Its just my flagship. But I certainly agree. In a year, Maemo will be pretty nice kit.
i agree to me its my flagship too, its certainly the nokiaflagship in terms of raw power, :D
I was just pushing the view of how outsiders would probably see it who are not as biased as us ;)

[felbutss]

when i try to add the ovi repository it fails??

and the apt-get command fails to. unable to find app????

[Thor]

Well, I'm seeing their files in /opt/offscr*... However, when you use apt-get, be sure to check your /var/cache/apt/archives for any leftovers...

Strange, I've used apt-get clean, but now when I try to refresh emails or use conversations i get the message:

unable to receive or send new messages.
Device storage full.
Remove data to free memory.

Any ideas? I can't seem to find a setting to save to memory card.
I've installed all of the offscr files, while i only moved the initial .deb files.

Reboot. The files seem to be getting locked open, so even deleting them doesn't actually free up the disk space until you reboot. This has (supposedly) been fixed, so the next firmware release should eliminate the problem.

[TECHDUCK!]

Just checked OVI's website, there isn't even an option for the N900 in "Add a device", not yet..

Ok apt-get was simple, but i didn't believe that it would work.

Now the ovi store is taken down...

[jonin60seconds]

Yeah thats the screen I'm getting now. Someone obviously made an error!

[Peter@Maemo Marketing]

Hi,

we've been testing the Ovi Store on N900 ourselves for a while. Hence, we put it into a live system for a moment. We are done with our little test round and closed the Ovi Store from the live system again. Nevertheless, we will be open the Ovi Store soon for everybody (and it will actually work then).

Well thank you for the test. I managed to install the following apps: :D

Solitaire
Cube
Level
Speedometer
Backgammon
Anglemeter
Seismometer
Resistors

[d-iivil]

Is there a way to get speedometer-application somehow? Can it be pulled out from device that has it installed?

[rcull]

A word of caution.
Solitaire minimised shows 55% CPU :(

[slaxium]

A little overview

[DaKing]

did anyone hear about this app OneDotZero were can u download it from ? did anyone use it ?

[hypnotik]

Looks like the OVI store is going to get rebooted next spring:

http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/nokia-taking-ovi-store-criticism-to-heart-planning-revamped-ver/

[Rob1n]

did anyone hear about this app OneDotZero were can u download it from ? did anyone use it ?

It's only an interface allowing remote control of a specific display system (presumably from onedotzero.com) - this was set up outside the building for one of the big Maemo meetings and people could remote control it. Outside of that environment it's absolutely useless.

[Alex Atkin UK]

Bummer, I really want solitaire as I was kinda stunned it wasnt preinstalled.

Rival App Store? The app store sucks, surely ovi store already kicks its ***.

I can never find a thing on app store, at least not on my ipod, slightly better in itunes but still crap.

Peter

While I am happy for the information - it is yet another example of how the community has to force information out of Nokia. if we had not started this thread I guarantee we would still be in the dark regarding the store. Seriously - Nokia should spend perhaps a few bucks on hiring someone who can actually provide us with information PROACTIVELY as opposed to REACTIVELY.

No offense meant Peter - but the closed house system Nokia is working at the moment - ISNT!.

Also please tell me that we don't have to wait until next Spring to get a freaking app store - even if its the old Ovi store.

[Aweb]

Totally agree with you, Bratag.
We need more communication from Nokia !

[Gulzar]

I tried using the command

apt-get install offscr-solitaire

but got the error unable to find package offscr-solitaire

[Au{R}oN]

All package are now offline.

[Gulzar]

Did someone get a copy that can be put somewhere, since Nokia doesnt want us to know when Ovi is coming up?

[lorddct]

Still no Ovi Store :( For US market.

[nirave]

Tried it from UK... no Ovi Store for UK yet either...

Looks like its a phasing out stage in that they'll phase it out country by country like most Ovi services

[NvyUs]

Nokia sold N900's eligible for $50 rebates if bought between November 16th and December 31st. One of the terms is that you activate Ovi Store on your N900.

Ovi Mail, not Ovi Store.

[sjgadsby]

No, Ovi store. Read the rebate form

Huh. I clearly misremembered that. My apologies.

Well, you can activate an Ovi Store account right now through the web. You just can't select the N900 as a device there yet. The rebate form does specify clicking the on-device icon though. Ah well, never trust a rebate.

[samtng]

Hello everyone,

I just got my phone. Can anyone please tell me how to activate Ovi Store in steps? Is Ovi Store available now for activation?

Thank you,
Sam

[sjgadsby]

Is Ovi Store available now for activation?

Not for use with the N900, no.

[Tommes]

Still "Coming soon" in Germany/Hessen...

[noobmonkey]

Hello everyone,

I just got my phone. Can anyone please tell me how to activate Ovi Store in steps? Is Ovi Store available now for activation?

Thank you,
Sam

Hi Sam, gadsby is right, not for the n900 at the moment - but we expect it to soon be available :)

I think we are all waiting for other sources of apps :) - crossing fingers it will be soon :)

[konttori]

It will be soon. But you will need update via SSU before it's really nice to use. Update is coming soon.

If you sneak around a back way in, the n900 ovi store contains some Christmas stuff, so it looks like opening soon. :) (You can't actually d/l, just look )

[Bundyo]

It will be soon. But you will need update via SSU before it's really nice to use. Update is coming soon.

Does this mean there will be a native app (or just a shortcut change)? :)

[b15cu1t]

It should be live end of the week, early next week at the latest!!!!

[brog]

It should be live end of the week, early next week at the latest!!!!

source of your information?

[dread123]

obviously if they have xmas stuff on there... it will be this week or early nxt week!

[drm]

A little overview
Offscreen rules.
They are working well. Just compare with the community stuff. They alone have more stuff then extras.

[Pedrolot]

It should be live end of the week, early next week at the latest!!!!

Thats awesome news. Hopefully it will be sooner rather then later!

[zfarooq]

if they do have an app, i hope its better than the s60 one.

[inzimam]

I checked Ovi Store again, another load of applications added from a few days ago. Looks like they are making good progress in time for the January release to networks.

I'm moving away for work where I won't really need a lot of the things I have been using like Sat Nav/ Google Maps etc, but back in 6 months time when I hope all these things are available!

How do you "sneek around the back way" in Ovistore ?

[Kozzi]

since someone spoiled, perhaps those with access could post more screenshots of
what have been added so far ? :)

[maemoexperts]

Damn, just got my replacement N900 and missed out on the fun :(

[Aweb]

Not many applications in Ovi Store yet, though.. Too bad

[samtng]

Ovi Store is still not available for Nokia N900 yet :(

[Bruce]

When logged into the Ovi Store click this link https://store.ovi.com/account/settings/set-device?terminalId=N900&fragment=1 .

It will set your device to N900 . We cant download the apps yet but we can view them.

[Strive_Masiwa]

Looks like progress. Hopefully soon there will be useful apps there. Turn by Turn Ovi Maps anyone?;)

[samtng]

When logged into the Ovi Store click this link https://store.ovi.com/account/settings/set-device?terminalId=N900&fragment=1 .

It will set your device to N900 . We cant download the apps yet but we can view them.

When I entered that URL into my N900, it said "We're sorry Ovi Store is currently not available for your device..etc"

I don't know how that worked on yours.

Thanks

[ppriyank]

its funny, cuz from my PC i can access all the games and apps for N900, but when i do it from my N900, it says my device isn't supported hmm :(


EDIT: it worked, but instead of built in browser, i went to the link via mozilla and i can see all the games/apps for N900 :)

EDIT: ok maybe not, i'm able to see all the stuff but when i click on send to mobile to download the game, it takes me back to the webpage, and then it says that my device is not supportd (it opens up in the built in browser)

[RevdKathy]

All that Christmassy stuff they put in there is going to be a heck of a waste of effort if they don't open in a day or two. :(

[Bruce]

Try it in something other than the Maemo browser. The Ovi Store returns the "not available for your device" error when using Maemo browser but in other browsers you can see the list of applications that are available for the N900. The applications are not installable at this time.

Yeah no kidding, lol.

[twaelti]

And the OVI account "Nokia Mobile Selector" doesn't even let me choose an N900...

[felbutss]

lol i think every project manager should be sacked from nokia or something. every product or service they bring has been late in current times.

this should be out by now.


and lets not forget the firmware updating coming before Christmas. lol nokia i would rather you say you will take 6 months for a project then say it will be a few weeks when you know its not possible.

[jalladin]

Do all of you have mobile numbers... because I've tried to start an Ovi account ( although my n900 is still in-transit ), I wasn't sure if there was a work around for entering a cell number versus a Skype or Google Voice. I plan on getting a T-mobile plan when I get back to the states in a few weeks, but it would be nice to take a look around before then.

[benny1967]

[kopte3]

Can you synchronize your N900 with Ovi Calendar, Contacts and other services? Because I just started to use them, and if i can't use them with N900 then Nokia really fails with their services. I am asking if it will ever be possible, i can wait for firmware. Thanks.

[sjgadsby]

Done.

(With luck, this means the store will really go live today, making the former title appropriate after all.)

Not much there though and nothing I want........:mad:

Not at present and I sympathise with your position - I want a SyncML connection to the same as for S60 but seen anything yet. There are some threads on this subject - try searching for SyncML

it's been stated before, the maemo browser won't help you - but other browsers oin the device work fine :) - i'm happy to use a pc for now, and use the ovi store on my phone when it's finally up and open :)

[talmage]

I confirm that it's not possible to view the Ovi store from the N900's built-in browser.

About half of the Ovi Store-to-N900 process works. That's intriguing. Using my desktop computer and Firefox, I can log into Ovi Store. On the "Account" page, I identified my phone as the N900 and typed in my mobile phone number. Ovi Store sent me an SMS, asking me to confirm my phone number. I confirmed by clicking on the URL in the text message.

At Ovi Store, I tried sending the "Snow Globe Touch" application to my N900. Ovi Store sent me another SMS announcing, "talmage has shared Snow Globe Touch with you." along with the URL of the application. Alas, this is where Ovi Store failed. When I clicked on the link, all I got was the "Ovi Store is currently not available for your device." page.

Interesting. I don't see the N900 in the list of phones when I select one from the Ovi Store account page. I have to use the link posted somewhere above in the forum to activate the N900 for my account.

[ABerri]

Just a few more days since Nokia is saying Ovi Store for N900 will be "Live" by end of this month which gives them just a few more days. I just think we are gonna be shafted again by one of two things or maybe both:

1) A delay in Ovi Store going "Live" since Nokia's middle name is "Dee-Lay"

2) Ovi Store being short of cool, or amazing, or awesome apps. I think it's gonna have a bunch of junk and only reason Ovi Store goes live is just to quiet us all for a few more weeks or months.

Again I love this N900 but I can only show off soo much with the lack of any amazing apps or games.

I want the snow globe - dont ask me why but they make me happy. :D

[kopte3]

Who promised Ovi store full of awesome apps?
I want to be able to synchronize my N900 with all Ovi services, and to be able to use them via my phone. Awesome apps will come sooner or later, Nokia surely is not going to make them. Developers will.

[RevdKathy]

I want the snow globe - dont ask me why but they make me happy. :D

Install liqflow - nearest thing to a snow globe, and touch responsive too. Enjoy!

You can sign up for it - the link is a couple of pages back in this thread.

[FilthyShadow]

Still waiting for it. If its got xmas stuff on the store, then whats the point if its going to open next year?

[Laughing Man]

My guess is that they thought they were going to have the store open earlier. That or the developers of those applications thought the store would be open by then.

[FilthyShadow]

True. But it stills frustrates me to no end. I really wish I had gotten an iPhone instead of this. It has nothing I need. No twitter apps, facebook (decent ones). Hardly anything decent in the application manager either.
Now true, its a new handset, but Nokia are disgracing themselves but not shifting gears and letting us access the store NOW.

Why? Im not a reviewer, or a member of the press. So I got my phone early because I ordered it through the proper channels. Now im being penalised for ordering it early. Yeah, thanks for ordering our new N900, but you wont really be able to do anything interesting with it until early 2010. Gee thanks.

Come on Nokia, please please pull your finger out, because alot of people im sure, myself included, are starting to get a lil frustrated.

Umm. Would you really rather go to iPhone? You can sell yours and go to iPhone if you believe it is better for you.
Nokia just won a LOT more fans with the N900. Don't think they disgraced themselves. Definitely a win-win from what I can see.

BTW, iPhone had NO apps when it was first launched also......

N900 had more than few hundred apps from the get-go due to the Maemo open source community.
Everyday, we are getting new apps either created or ported to Maemo 5. Install appwatch.

There are many Twitter apps (Mauku, Witter etc) and now Twtter is also integrated into the phone also with a new plug-in.
With facebook, just use the lite website with your browesr. Why need a separate app? Then put a bookmark shortcut on your desktop. Voila. Facebook app! :p
http://m.facebook.com/

[Laughing Man]

There's..

www.lite.facebook.com (a lite version of Facebook.com that I even prefer on my desktop and laptop since it strips out half the crap you see on Facebook now)

And if you want a more iPhone version of Facebook there's.

www.touch.facebook.com

Combined with the facebook pipe to upload photos, or pixelpipe with the facebook pipe active it pretty much does everything a dedicated Facebook app would do anyway.

[Rushmore]

Angry Birds (unfortunately the demo version with 21 levels) has finally got some space in Ovi Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/23158?clickSource=browse&contentArea=games

Wish they would just open the damn store already.

[RevdKathy]

Me too - I've got mahjong to the point where I can never beat the high scores... I want the playing cards now!

I suspect that will happen the same day as the new firmware - access to the store may well be part of that bundle.

[guy2die4]

hey guys...i just checked the ovi store catalogue on my laptop...it is now showing around 50 apps for N 900. The site is even sending sms link to the app you want to download but the link is still not opening on the phone. looks like we will have a new year gift from nokia!!

More stuff is being added :) wohoooooop!

[Rauha]

Noticed that Nokia has finally also added full finnish localization. Altough this is propably the first time I don't prefer localizaton to my native language.

Ovi Kauppa looks quite bizarre. At least Ovi Store was like any other generic brand. Ovi Kauppa is literally "Door Store" in finnish. It's as if Nokia has started selling doors.

[ollifl]

well, there's always next year. thanks Nokia.

[Jack6428]

i must be missing something, but i don't see it working....

[noobmonkey]

theres a trick once you have logged in to click a link - it then sets your device to the N900 and you can browse apps, still can't download. Unfortunatley the link is on my other pc :( - tis mentioned on here a few times somewhere though :)

I was able to download fring .

[xomm]

Arghh... past new years, and when opening the Ovi Store icon in applications (N900), the browser freezes, and says not responding. The page title still says "Ovi Store coming soon" though... :mad:

The Nokia N900 page used to say "Software Update Coming Soon," now it doesn't.

Although... we all know when soon is... coughacouplemonthscough...

I have been to curious again and went not via ovi-store directly but http://maemo.nokia.com/maemo-select/applications/ovi-store/1/0/0/#content
works for me.
including frings, though i do not need that app so far.
have fun.
did download qik and it simply starts the apps manager.
if this is all nokia has for the ovi-store so far, well it is a bit lame but better than nothing.

That's not the Ovi store. That's Maemo select.

Go to the ovi store: http://store.ovi.com/

Then click on this: https://store.ovi.com/account/settings/set-device?terminalId=N900&fragment=1

The open the ovi store again. You will see something different. ;)

[Kypeli]

I wonder when Nokia gets its act together with this Ovi stuff;

I just visited the Ovi Store again, which I haven't done in a while, tried to find the N900 in the device list but couldn't find it so I closed the dialog. Now I get every time an error message in the Flash video saying

faultCode:Server.Error.Request faultString:'null' faultDetail:'null'

I can tap on a button saying "null".

It is just so embarrassing for Nokia to have these kinds of errors on their services.

Hi Kypeli, did you follow Kathys instructions?


1)Go to the ovi store: http://store.ovi.com/

2) Log in to Ovi Store (Or register and then log in) (Won't work if you don't)

3)Visit this link,
https://store.ovi.com/account/settings/set-device?terminalId=N900&fragment=1
It will set your device to the N900 (Sometimes i have had to click it twice for it to work. - do it until you see a cheapy comic version of the N900 appear on the web page. That will mean the device has been set.)

4) The open the ovi store (http://store.ovi.com/) again. You will see something different.

[Kypeli]

Thanks for the tip! This hack did work for me too - cool :D

But you are right, I didn't do that, but I wanted to use the OVI Store first as a normal customer with an N900 :) And then I am faced with this error message. I didn't try to trick the OVI Store or anything and that is what irritates me even more than not having officially support for N900 in OVI Store.

lol well it's not open :)

I think many many reasons have been discussed here in the past few weeks, but it sounds like they are holding back for a reason. And also we are waiting for a new N900 patch/firmware update, Could mean these two events could happen at the same time? - a problem with either could be holding it up.

For now there are new applications being added daily into the extras repository :) - and the testing one is building up fast!

Was there anything you really really wanted in the ovi store?

[RevdKathy]

Yes. I want to light candles in my n900. The perfect prayer/meditation aid. :p

[naabi]

lol well it's not open :)

Hmmm.... Isn't it open for many other devices? When I go in there (using my laptop browser) and login, the site redirects me to some update-your-information page. If I cancel that and don't choose my device at all, the store goes nuts like Kypeli described. Definitely bad behavior by the site.

[noobmonkey]

Ahhhhhhh - I'm assuming being a sensible non smoker you don't have the handy lighter on you at all times :).

Those touch games are not real games. Those are just fun apps. A game will consist real game developers such as Rovio / Gameloft/ ETC. It's just the matter of Nokia if they'll support us with this developers. I wouldn't mind paying 5-10$ a game. App store already sells them for that price. N-Gage disappointed much. N900 supports 3D games and it's best not let it go a waste right? and port games are limited.

[ZootHornRollo]

Prismic - a wallpaper manager for the N900 http://www.n900wallpapers.com/prismic - recently changed their coming soon to the N900 message to 'Coming Soon, exclusively on Nokia N900 Ovi Store'...

at least there are some developers trying to get into it.

[casper27]

The hack does not seem to work anymore just get the your device is currently not available in Ovi store page which reloads everytime I hit the login button.

[MikeZ83]

I really hope Nokia will soon get their act together.

First they abandoned a far superior platform a few years back (S90 on the 7710) in favor of a way inferior one.

And now we have the N900 with great hardware and OS but which was first delayed for a long time, is still buggy as hell in quite a lot of software aspects and months after the release there's still no official app store (maemo.org is great but it's not suitable for paid applications).

As it stands now I get the feeling the N900 will probably be my last Nokia device and that's coming from someone who has been a customer since the 7110.

[nilchak]

So when is the App store coming again ?
Oh sorry Nokia doesn't give out dates. Its better we just keep expecting without a timeline.

[vietn900]

i think the app store need improvement over the search feature .. when i select "free" it shows up "free trial" along w/ free apps waste my time going through to find free apps

[rman]

are there any finance apps for the N900? ones that to basic TVM calculations and such.. just like we used to have on the Palm OS? I bought the N900 thinking I have access to a lot of apps but the ones I could locate are very few using the application downloader that came with the phone. What apps have you installed that you find useful and must have? I am still searching for a pdf reader.

[rman]

has anyone used the application "Stock this" ? its a really pathetic.. not ready for prime time. It doesnt even pull the necessary data and when I enter the stock symbol "Mo" (Altria group) it says "cannot recognize symbol".

Ovi store look like is available now. Plus, you have to update your N900 to new update (1.2009.44-1.002) to view Ovi Store website.

Cube is buggy (i get 11 yellow square and only 8 white after a restore, wtf?), just like backgammon (disappearing pieces and crashes) by the same offscr company.
I wonder if those were really tested ... ?
And how many from them actually work? :-(

Are you hiding the user agent at all? If so, you'll need to uninstall that - the Ovi store uses the user agent to detect whether the phone can connect or not. Otherwise, you could try deleting the microB configuration (rm -rf /home/user/.mozilla/microb) and see whether that clears it up.

I had to install an update to Maemo twice before I could get into the Ovi store. The first one was around 28mb and the second 50-odd mb if I remember right. Even if you've installed an update, double check there isn't another update sneakily sitting there.

That was it. I restored and hide user agent went back to default which is hide. Thanks!

I found audio books that I could pay for... and download...

But I couldn't listen to them because they were digitally restricted, which is something Maemo5 will not be able to handle. (Handled in Harmattan.)

It's real fraud, but they won't do anything about it.

Could be it's the same with these videos. Try. ;)

[Dave999]

no, I will keep my money! ;

Fraud...we need some apps to pay for. sygic

Thanks for reporting my WikiHow concerns casper27. :)
The only other one I could think of that you haven't reported is the themes that must be re-enabled after every boot.

[Dave999]

Any words on the ovi store department?

Still no payment apps...I have some money to spend!

[nidO]

Ovi store is being updated to properly support Maemo.

[silver2789]

so you think its just an update??? has this happened to people before

[Blobster2k]

Why is anyone worried about the fact it isnt there! Its had no new content for like the last month or so and is utter tosh! :P

[silver2789]

i know the ovi store isn't much cop like, i was just concerned because everything was working fine one day and not the next

Nokia announced it would be down on Monday for an update. So true to form, they actually took it down about half way through Tuesday, and it's been down ever since.

The hopeful thing is that when it recovers, we might actually get some decent content.

In fairness, it was down all day yesterday as promised. And by down, it was really completely down, not just unreachable from devices.
It actually came back up yesterday about 45 minutes early, and while you can select N900's as your chosen device when visiting it directly from a PC, it won't open directly from the device, presumably due to some further extended maintenance dealing with bringing proper Maemo compatability to the store.

One can but hope that 'proper maemo compatability' will mean an end to quantities of paid apps that don't actually run on the device.

I didn't notice that it was down yesretday - I noticed the anxieties today that it's not reachable from the device.
