Magic is happening as I expected a few months ago.

With the number of active Nokia service users now reaching 140 million worldwide, the company today announced that more than 200,000 people are currently signing up daily to Ovi, and that Ovi Store has reached the milestone of 2.3 million downloads per day. Available in more than 190 countries, Ovi is discovered through Maps, Music, Messaging, Store and in select countries, Life Tools.

The growing popularity of the Ovi experience has also led to 70 developers and publishers each surpassing the million download mark for their content in the Ovi Store. Developers and publishers reaching and moving past this milestone include Digital Chocolate, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Indiagames, PepsiCo, Qik, Shazam, HeroCraft and Offscreen echnologies. HeroCraft, a publisher of content that includes the game Farm Frenzy, has received more than 10 million downloads, and Offscreen, a developer of a variety of touchscreen apps, has more than 45 million. The complete list by geography is available at forum.nokia.com. It includes 39 content creators from Europe, the Middle East and Africa; 14 from the United States; ten from Asia Pacific; and seven from China.

At Nokia, we believe that connecting people with great mobile experiences is at the heart of what Ovi is all about, said Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president, Services, Nokia.  Today people discover Ovi through Maps, Music, Messaging, Store and Life Tools. With a new generation of amazing devices, like the Nokia N8, developers are looking at Ovi as a good business decision and a chance to innovate and create next-generation mobile experiences for our family of new Symbian smartphones.

Other milestones include:

- An updated Ovi Store experience - debuting on the newly available Nokia N8 and coming to the full range of new Symbian smartphones - giving a friendlier look and feel, faster content discovery and more popular content choices such as foursquare and the smash hit game Angry Birds.

- Improvements for developers including new development tools and benefits such as free Java and Symbian signing, in-app purchase and beta in-app advertising programs,  mproved revenue share and advanced developer analytics.

- Significant enhancements to the Nokia Qt Software Development Kit (SDK) have resulted in a 70 percent reduction in the number of lines of code required when developing for the companys family of Symbian smartphones.

- Continued expansion of Ovi Maps around the world and the integration of more new features. Walk and drive navigation is available in 78 countries and 46 languages and includes public transit details in more than 80 cities, and features such as check-in that supports location as the new social connector. Every day, maps usage is the equivalent of driving around the world 80 times.

- Available in 38 markets around the world and with approximately 11 million tracks in the global catalogue, Ovi Music is complemented by the popular interconnected Gig Finder app that uses personal music preferences to find relevant entertainment venues. Nokia is the largest single source of digital downloaded music revenue in Brazil, Mexico, India, Finland and South Africa.

- Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat have surpassed 17 million accounts, Nokia Messaging currently delivers push email and instant messaging to an active user base of 4 million people, and new social networking features on the Nokia N8 and other new Symbian-powered devices enhance Facebook and Twitter with a more seamless experience.

- In less than a year, Ovi Life Tools and its agricultural, educational and  entertainment services for entry markets has attracted more than 4.7 million subscribers in China, India and Indonesia.

Ovi is designed to be the perfect complement to a Nokia device. It connects the real world with what is relevant in the digital world - resulting in an enriched mobile lifestyle marked by easy access to popular apps and games, the worlds best maps, millions of locally relevant music choices, great messaging capabilities, and information tools for everyday life in emerging markets.

The advantages of the two phones are different so they are for different groups of consumers. I think N8's target consumers are A LOT bigger for MANY reasons.

thanks a lot

Some pre-order customers were even lucky enough to get theirs hand delivered. Right now planes, trucks and boats are bringing shipments of N8s all over the world for delivery over the coming weeks.

我用了差不多十年NOKIA了，是从摩托罗拉换过来的。
不过，平心而论，这几年，身边用NOKIA的大多经历过手机故障，我自己也是，不是会莫名其妙死机，就是屏幕突然乱闪。我们都是从正规渠道购买的NOKIA，不是水货。

诺基亚产品在这几年尤其是07以后质量明显有所下滑，主要是市场竞争压力大，需要尽快推出市场， 抢占市场份额， 同时，和它的BONUS 政策有关。只要一个产品型号延期了，整个手机部门的BONUS取消。 在这种形势下，09年仓促推出的N97根本就是一个灾难，问题多得不行， 大概花了10个月左右的时间才把FIRMWARE稳定下来。 为此Nokia付出的代价巨大。 这次N8 一再推迟，就是为了避免任何类似97的问题重现，彻底毁掉NOKIA质量品牌的声誉。我可以负责的说， N8的用户质量体验将重新树立Nokia质量品牌的形象。

恩。
我在2006年夏天购买了新推出的诺基亚N系列手机送给女友，在使用不到一个月后就完全死机，
失去了手机里所有宝贵的照片和声音记录，女友很生气，我也很遗憾。
2007年她在澳大利亚签使用合约时被赠送的诺基亚手机，依然是经历了不断死机的噩梦。
不过我们现在使用的仍然是诺基亚的品牌，倒不是忠诚度，而是习惯了。。。
我个人认为以后我存在更换使用品牌的可能性。

请教，此话怎讲，不如这两个公司会marketing? 三星到处贿赂bloger, 连俄罗斯臭名昭著的Eldar Murtazin都给提供资助，可见一般。 我看它很有当年的现代风采，也许不用很久。。。

你们有没有更新的FIRMWARE，在支持这点上看， 诺基亚还是不错的。 不过，我觉得可以考虑更换一下品牌，有了比较更有利于理性评估一个品牌。

最近N8出来后， 看到不少iphone， ANDROID 要换回来n8, 原因很多。电池问题，多任务支持， 网络信号稳定性， gps，自由性，支持问题，每个人选择的理由可能都不同。

What you have seen in the past 2, 3 years might be the darkest times for Nokia. Today, another VP, head of Meego resigned. So far, 3 top management people resigned. It is a good sign in my opinion and welcomed by the market today.

还有就是三星的用户的LOYAL 比较低，根本问题就是支持差。 这个公司的特点就是什么流行马上RIDE，然后，甩给用户一屁股的麻烦在后面。
