Ovi Store Client Update Available for Nokia 5800

Ovi update

Ovi store may be just a few days over fortnight old but the folks at Ovi thought it was time to update it! Ovi store was officially launched worldwide only on 26th May 2009 and today just 19 days after its launch there is an update available for ovi store client on Nokia 5800. Looks like the tech team at ovi store ihas been working over time first with several complaints over non functional payment and then with several applications and games not showing up in their store. Finally they have come up with an update for the ovi store and lets see how this version fares on our 5800s.

To update your client, all you need to do is just open the ovi client on your 5800s. The client will prompt for an update as indicate in the screenshot to the left. Tapping on update will open the download link in the default symbian browser. The setup file is 651 kb and it took me less that 10s for downloading the setup file. Installation will update the ovi client from v 1.05 (212) to v1.05(231) in a few seconds.

The aesthetics of the new version continues to remain the same as with the earlier version. One thing that stands out in the new version of ovi store is the number of new applications/games available for 5800. I haven’t checked ovi store for the last few days for there were no interesting additions happening but am now very much impressed by the new lineup of applications/ganes available at the store. Is it the fact that I didn’t check on ovi store for a while or is it the case of ovi update including the new set of applications/games is something only the readers of this blog can point out. However I would like to believe that the update added a new line up of games/applications to the store. I came across a bunch of games from the biggest name in gaming industry today, Electronic Arts. Check out the gallery below for some screenshots of the latest version of ovi client on Nokia 5800.
