Nokia OVI, Sync

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Nokia Ovi is the new door (Ovi is the Finnish word for door) to the Nokia Internet services.

Among these services I have tried the sync, the service that allows you to save your phone contacts and calendar events. And it worked smoothly and fine. Now I have my data backup in the Internet and I can access them whenever I want. It is an idea that has gone around for years, and now we can see it in practice.

There are many things that can be improved. For example, it is possible to search my contacts by name. Why not also by phone number, address or email, etc.? And why do not make the service accessible for all kinds of phones including non Nokia´s ones?

Of course, the sync service went online recently, many improvements are possible and the OVI services are tagged “beta” which includes continuous updates and upgrades. Good start overall.
