I have your solution. Open many windows and get ready to press all the download buttons once each is done Doesn't work too bad for me in the mean time while they develop something

xploder doesn't seem to have sound and is a bit laggy, but looks like a fun concept with a need for a little tweak :-)

I just opened Pendulum and banner and watched them both play out at the same time in task view...

I am so glad I got this phone.

I like the way you can browse the store on the web and have it send an sms to your phone with a direct link to an app you want. Then on the phone you can to click on it, login (leave a browser open so the cookie remains for the next one), then download, then wait for app manager to install it.

Frankly I realized this would take a while to check out all the 10+ apps I wanted to, so I ended up doing the following (in case anyone is interested)

1) using Modify Headers extension in Firefox on desktop changed my User-Agent to the N900 one (found easily on various sites)
2) Use that to make ovi store think my desktop is a N900, so it gave me the Download link
3) Downloaded all the .install files for all the apps still on the desktop, then opened them up in a text editor to get the package names
4) Finally pasted all of those in an root ssh session to the phone, in apt-get install <package1> <package2> <package3> etc
5) Took 2 minutes or so to download and install 10 apps including big themes.

I wonder if there's an easier way to select many apps for installation that I missed rather than go through all this.

Sidenote, rootfs is full again

You should be aware that apt-get stores the downloaded debs at (note, the application manager doesn't):
/var/cache/apt/archives/

It's safe to clean them after installation either by
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
or (simply)
apt-get clean

This should free some space if you haven't done it already.

How do you access the store? I updated and have the new pretty store interface, but see none of the games or the snow ball

I tried going straight to the store via the web, but still says "coming soon".
