Ovi Store Now Shows “Not Available for Your Device” Error Messages

One of the complaints we had with Ovi Store till now was with the error messages it used. The error messages it used made absolutely no sense & gave the user no description of what the error or problem exactly was.

Thankfully, the Ovi Store team has tweaked the error messages and made them actually meaningful now. Previously, if you opened a link for an item which wasn’t available for your phone, the store would give you an error message that said “This item is no longer available.” Now, when you open the link for an item which is not available for your phone, the error message clearly says that “this item is not available for your device : [ Model Number].”

Continue reading for the screenshots of the error message.

Ovi Store Client Now Available for N86 & the New E Series Phones

Due to the new 7.1 version of the webkit browser shipping with the new S60v3 phones, the Ovi Store client did not work with these phones. The only option was to use the Ovi Store website. It worked, but it wasn’t as feature rich as the client. One would have expected Nokia to work on the client & release it sooner, but better late than never. When I checked the Ovi Store website sometime back, I was prompted to install the Ovi Store client.
