New version of Nokia Ovi Suite now available

Hello everyone! My name is Anu and I work in the Nokia Ovi Suite team. As you can see from the attached photo, I am a rock-hard fan of Guns N’ Roses – yes, both the old lineup and “nu-GNR” – and I have a particular liking for artistic photography. I always use Nokia Ovi Suite to get the photos that I have snapped with my phone onto my computer, and I am in the habit of transferring music onto my phone so that I can listen to it when I commute to work. So yes, I am a user of Nokia Ovi Suite, too.

I am happy to let you all know that a new version of Nokia Ovi Suite has been released. You can either download this free software at www.ovi.com/suite, or – if you currently have Nokia Ovi Suite installed – update the software by selecting Tools > Software updates in the menu bar. As Nokia Ovi Suite lets you know when an update is available, some of you may already have received the update notification and downloaded Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.

In developing the latest version, we have focused on improving the stability and performance of Nokia Ovi Suite. It is important that the application is reliable, runs smoothly and works flawlessly before we can concentrate on polishing its features or on fixing minor issues. Presently, we are fully committed to creating a strong, stable foundation for our product so that we can then go on to build its functionality and features to meet your needs even better.

So, what does the new version have in store for you? Nokia Ovi Suite now supports syncing contacts with Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1, video playback has been improved, and the reliability of downloading maps onto your phone has been upped. Problems that some users of Microsoft Outlook 2010 have run across have been fixed. Furthermore, Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2 supports an ever-increasing number of Nokia phones, Nokia N900 for instance, and uses updated operator information to help you connect your PC to the internet with the help of your phone.

Right now, our eyes are already set on the next version of Nokia Ovi Suite. We are also hard at work on Nokia Ovi Suite for Mac. My team would like to thank you for all the improvement suggestions that we have recently received. Every idea and every reported problem counts, which is also why I will be a permanent fixture on this blog. Hearing you out, that’s where our most valuable feedback comes from. And now, I am looking forward to learning more about your experiences with the new version of Nokia Ovi Suite.

Kind regards,

Anu Koskinen, Nokia Ovi Suite team
