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].”

     I m getting...same message in my Nokia n73...."Ovi store is currently unavailable for your device.New devices are being added new devices"  bla..bla.. Ye ghatiya message hai......
    Why a seprate server like "www.m.ebuddy.com" redircts me to ovi store?
    There is no need to doing the same. If any body has the Technical answer for this problem. Plzzzz Reply.. I m unable to download a single app??

  • Great! N73 just ‘updated’, installed Ovi store - overwriting the Download app - with great fanfare, then promptly told me that ‘Ovi store is not available for your device’. Thanks Nokia! You helpfully replaced my downloads app with something that doesn’t work. Way to go!

  • Kapil N73

    why ovi store is not available with my n73 and in nokia website i have seen that ovi store is complitable with n73?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  • Pissedoff

  • Pungsat Basumatary

    why ovi is not currently available for my device?????? i'm using 6700slide

  • erked@myphone

    why can no one answer any of these questions? it seems that nokia doesnt give a flying fork about its customers! nokia x2-01 here and cannot access ovi store "ovi store not available for your device at this time blah blah blah" someone answer us!!!!

  • Josepthomas

    Does Nokia really care about any of these customers who are upset?
    I don't think so, how many of you actually managed to resolve the issues
    that you are confronted with? I have a C3-00 and I cannot play online music,
    due to the fact that the device do not support any software. I am getting the same error message from OVI store.

  • Vv001

    I am completely pissed off by the fact that nothing seems to be downloadable for N97. All the time the meaningless "Ovi Store is currently not available for your device."

    Really great.

  • Julz

    it's funny how it shows error with wrong info. It showed that i'm on E73.. while in actual fact.. i'm using E73. This is frustrating

    I just bought a Nokia x3, and the first time I tried using it, the ovi store was available but know when I try connecting to the ovi store it says" link not available,what does that mean?

  • Erickson

    try to connect directly to webpage of OVI type to your phone web browser "store.ovi.com"

    note:
    if u have username and password try to do this if you dont have try to sign up first using PC then after that try to do this...

  • I guess most probably it would have been a network / server issue. Try again, does it still say link not available?

  • Greyhandle

    STUPID PIECE OF SHIT keeps tellin me the old message eventhough it says my phone can use ovi but when i type in the link it says device not compatible

  • oviniac

    Why Ovi always say Ovi is not available for your device with the Nokia devices such as E51 and N95. Please respond immediately

  • Does it say that the particular app is not available for your phone? Because
    Ovi Store is compatible and supported on both of these phones.

  • brodie

    For the E51, for any visit to store.ovi.com, and if go directly to an app's page and click to download it (for apps that, when visiting in a pc web browser, say are available for the e51), redirects to the error screen saying "We're sorry. Ovi Store is currently not available for your device. Please check back as new Nokia devices are being added frequently". This did seem to coincide with an auto-updating of the Download/OviStore application on the phone; and this is for firmware v100 and v410. The current workaround is going to app publisher's websites directly.

  • parvizb

    Is OVI available fro Nokia 6210 navigator? If not - OVI should not accept my application .
    have not not been able to get a single application for OVI -

  • parvizb

    If the application is not available for my device, why does it show up in the list.
    I have not been able to get a single product from OVI. Always the same message

  • Paula Powell

    Why is the Facebook app "no longer available"?
