Re: Ovi Store Update
 

I haven't looked in Ovi store yet. However, i am quite impressed with what i can get, all for free, in Extras.

I agree it's ridiculous what Ovi has (not) accomplished in the last six months, but I am a bit curious: what do people expect to get out of Ovi given the niche status of Maemo?

Re: Ovi Store Update
 

I am concerned about buying a device for $600 based on claims of functionality or functionality that was explicitly labeled as "coming soon" that has yet to show up. To site a few specific examples;

-Ovi Store (just now coming online 6 plus months later)
-Ovi Maps, which was an absolute joke at launch and still isn't as functional as the version they give away free for virtually every other phone they make.
-Ovi Suite / PC Suite integration. Still not released, but reports from Beta testers indicate that a version with most features functional will be released at some point.
-The biggest issue of course, and the one that really has the community in flames is that Nokia really represented to the community that the N900 would be a little raw at release, but not to worry, because Harmattan would be just over the horizon. We all know how that worked out.

I feel like Nokia made promises of future functionality, misrepresentations & outright lies of present functionality and generally broke covenant with their customers in order to sell a device they had no intention from the start of supporting over even a minimal span of time. It has been six months and already the community can see the darkness closing in.

So what do you do when life gives you lemons?

I bought my device knowing it was unfinished. I wanted to contribute to its development. The apps in extras are a lot better than anything the Ovi Store has to offer and they are free.

But i can understand your disappointment. I just don't think continuos whining about how Nokia screwed us over is going to fix anything.

We've made lemonade, why are we still complaining that life gave us lemons?

RocketMan: Yes, I agree completely. Nokia should at least live up to these promises. In the end, it's their choice if they want to keep their customers or not. If this doesn't get any better, I have to admit it's an expensive ~$600 mistake, but there's no doubt I do it only once.
