I have always been of he oppinion that the N900 software would have looked a lot different if important Nokia staff had been required to live with it for say a month - with no right to use any other phone at least during office hours.
It's critical that decision makers and designers gets that kind of feedback, to force them to make more qualified decisions.
Sorry for an OT post, but this thread seems to be focused on OT or not OT

4th its not about me being a moderator, its about you getting your facts straight
but sure
whatever
thanks for sharing that information.
have a nice day
Attacked?
Lets recap for those playing along at home, shall we?

Um, I posted to open this thread and you replied with a negative remark about relevance... adding nothing more.
I then replied that I would STFU if what you say is so.
Apparently not happy with this solution you continued to hijack the thread, steering it instead toward even more negativity.
I then offered another solution to this dilemma that seemed to confront only you.
***
Now that other members have replied that they believe the thread was informative and relevant you wish to change the narrative to reflect that somehow I attacked you.
This is what we have affectionately called the "Sheldon Cooper syndrome*" around here.
(*Not to be confused with the Whistling-face syndrome)
Personally I think that this kind of passive aggressive negativity sucks enthusiasm out of members and casual viewers alike. A variation of this "Sheldon Cooper Syndrome" may have been the antecedent that has prompted contributing members (like the one noted in my signature) to leave this place.
This is not a good thing but alas, I am now OT and perhaps this subject can be explored in another thread.
...in any event I am putting on my "Whatever Dude" hat and moving on.
I hope this thread remains as a marker for when Nokia began finally making the visible changes in OVI that some believe have been needed for quite some time.

Regular TMO member: We think we can help you with your problem.
Sheldon: Oh, I doubt that. I haven't figured out a way, and I'm much smarter than all of you.
Regular TMO member: Yes, buy you're not smaller than all of us put together.
Sheldon: I'm sorry, that is what I meant.

did you try opening it?
right now, it wont sign in
before, it used to say that n900 is not supported and ovi suite should be used or something along the lines..
I dont like cloud based services at alland yes Nokia services are horrible , I was more frustrated by Ovi mail than this service. It never worked well with N900
I think Nokia will discontinue it sooner or later

I too received this e-mail (in the middle of the night). And then this morning, I received the update notice below (on a Mac running Snow Leopard). WTF? Talk about one hand not talking to the other! I half expect a monkey to fall out of my phone the next time I open up the back. What a bunch of clowns.

I used it a couple of times to connect to a Windows PC. Sad to see it go though. I guess the costs were too high.

The optimist in me is hoping this is in preparation of a "do over".
I did sign a non-disclosure for the OVI beta and I hope what I am about to say isn't in violation but at this point, meh.
When I first entered the OVI beta site I was presented with the exact same caveat regarding N900's that was posted for N900 users of the original OVI.

You can't do this, and dont expect that, blah, blah, blah...
)Needless to say I didn't participate much so I was surprised to get an invite to download the next beta release. Guess what I was greeted with then? The same dang disclaimer.
Not a dang thing regarding the N900 was in the change log from what I saw. (The wanker icon switches hands without missing a stroke.
).Who knows what any of this means?
And I doubt if even Nokia does.

I for one am devastated to see Ovi Files go away!!!! I have 5.8GBs of data stored there since the N82 days. People who never used it don't understand. With Ovi Files it was a free and simple way to get virtual access to your computer via any web browser and internet connection. It was simple, just browse your files on your phone/other pc just like you are on your host computer as long as the host PC is connected to the web.
ALSO, there was an Anytime Files feature that allowed you to upload your files to the cloud so that even if the host PC was not online, you could access your files. I used to download documents, pictures and software to my N82 no matter if I was thousands of miles away from my desktop.
Free, Fast, Simple and Everywhere. For people to say it is not relevant and then give the OP a hard time about it or that no one cares goes to show that some of you didn't own a Nokia before the N900 while others don't know much about Ovi other than Ovi Store......
As long as they don't take away Share on Ovi......
Thank you OP for posting the information.
