We immediately began to address this issue by adding servers, which resulted in intermittent performance improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Ovi Store users and encourage you to continue giving us feedback as we develop the service further.
The Ovi Store device client, however, has continued to perform very well and there were no reported issues from users logged on through that entry point.

In any case, I hope the store rolls along, and I REALLY hope they get around to adding Maemo (maemo? mAeMo?) stuff. Although, to be honest, the real money for Ovi is in basic mobile content for Nokia's 1.8 gazillion not-smart-but-sorta-clever-and-with-a-great-personality-phones, running the S40 system.
And yes, it is 1.8 gazillion. Look it up.

... another thing (not important, but tells a lot about the quality control):
The category that's called "utilities" in the English version got translated to "öffentliche Einrichtungen" in the German UI, a phrase that could be roughly translated back as "public organizations". ("Reference" becomes something that's widely understood as "link")
Having a flashlight and a handwriting calculator listed as "public organizations" is sort of fun, but doesn't help building a reputation of reliability and trustworthiness.

Doing a google search for the terms "nokia ovi store" leads to a top hit of a Maintenance site.
Ooops, not good.

In defense of the store site, note that when the Windows 7 beta was released, the web was full of frustrated users and people saying that the release of the beta was a complete disaster. But it was soon taken care of, and I think that Windows 7 has been very successful so far. I'm typing this in Windows 7.
I would say that brouhahas about the first day release of z are a journalistic cliche and the articles could be written by filling in forms:
"
Release of Z has been a complete disaster!
Users worldwide have been complaining about using the new Z site since it was announced yesterday. "I'll never try Z again," grumbled Joe Nemo, 56, of Anytown, US. "This has been a nightmare!
"
and so on.
