Not a fan of the black and white, makes reading some text quite hard, the white text on lighter backgrounds doesnt work too well. Wallpaper is nice though, but still prefer the nseries blue theme

Can someone please post the Application Manager catalogue info so I don't have to get a Nokia Account to download apps?
Or does the catalogue hide / obfuscate the apps so you have to go to the Ovi store?
EDIT: Bundyo nudged me in the right direction and after hunting a bit I've found this post:
Doing an "apt-get update" and "apt-cache search offscr" gives me a list of all of the new apps offered through Ovi.

Qole - its the same one posted before in the previous Ovi thread.
Catalogue name: Ovi
Web Address: https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ovi
Distribution: ./
I'm not sure you'll see them in App manager, use apt-cache to search for birds and offscr.

just type on ur browser http://store.ovi.com (its Ovi beta). Dont use link thats on ur mobile its still give u "coming soon". And when u click to download any application its automatically going to open ur App.Manager and will create link in ur Application catalogs folder to Ovi just like any other out there (nokia system, maemo, extra,..etc) and then proceed to download app.

Some nice little fun apps in there by offscr mostly. Couple of themes too (Harmony BlkWhite, Alpine).
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
