Ovi store is the much hyped nokia version of apple store but it doesn’t come anywhere near to the latter either in the application it contains or the site usability. Ovi store have applications for the S60 based phones which again have many varieties among themselves like screen size and hardware resources. Ovi store have variant of applications for different type of phone models and the download link is sent to the mobile via sms. I tried it with my nokia 6110 navigator and many of the application links did not work.
The bigger names are missing even after one month when the ovi store is launched. The site usefulnuss is not good either, the pages sometime jam with the response to ajax did not come back, session times out pretty soon and the search don’t show relevant results. For the nokia phone owners at last there is a place where the users can look for the applications they wanted. But unlike of apple store the ovi store does not look like it will be the preffered way to distribute applications for the bigger application makers.
