Nokia Ovi App Store Opens Its Door

ovi_storeNokia is one of the largest handset makers in the world, and the Nokia Ovi app store has opened for business. The Ovi store will work on 50 Nokia handsets out of the box, which means 50 million people can access it today.  All is needed is the mobile store app on the phone, which is found in the Download folder on supported phones, or it can be downloaded directly from the Ovi download site.

There are already a lot of apps in the store, but it appears the launch hasn’t been very well-executed. Techcrunch is reporting the store is having serious problems serving up apps for purchase and that some apps are disappearing from the store willy-nilly. Oops, Nokia needs to make this work well to compete with all the other app stores out there.
