Nokia has now released OVI Suite Beta 2.1 for the masses , earlier , the beta was available only to the selected few and yes I was one of them .
A brief overview of OVI Suite 2.1 beta includes
Features
- Contacts sync with Ovi.com – keep your contacts safe online
- Video support – transfer, play and share your videos
- Get new device applications (Independent Application Delivery, IAD) – keep your device applications up-to-date
- Windows 7 support – extended support for new operating system versions
- Download Ovi Share library – get a copy of your Ovi Share content to your computer
- Contacts sync with Mozilla Thunderbird – support for new, popular desktop PIM applications
- Error fixes and performance improvements
- New languages (Hindi, American English and Ukrainian)
If Nokia is pushing OVI Suite so much what will happen to the Nokia Pc Suite –
Well according to Nokia PC Suite will soon vanish and OVI Suite will be the only software available from Nokia .
Just a few pointers
- Nokia OVI Suite 2.1 is not compatible with N900 so those with N900 still have to use PC Suite
- Nokia OVI Suite 2.1 supports updating your device while connected via Bluetooth , checked on E72 and N86 8MP
- Nokia OVI Suite 2.1 sync contacts with the OVI.com contacts but the sync is both way , I have a number of trash contacts on ovi.com and have to remove them and still figuring out a way
- Nokia Software Updater will not work if OVI Suite 2.1 is working so it’s better to use OVI Suite for software update
- Haven’t used Share feature as it’s not available in Pakistan , neither tried the Thunderbird as I don’t use it
