Welcome to the blog where we post the latest on all things Ovi, straight from where it’s happening.
It’s been just a bit over a year since the Ovi initiative was announced. It’s hard to believe it’s been only a year as so much has happened. We have launched Share on Ovi and Files on Ovi. Ovi.com has gone live with Sync functionality for Calendar, Contacts and Notes. We have both announced and released Nokia Ovi Suite. And we have released Maps on Ovi in beta. We also brought Share on Ovi under the Nokia Account just as 2008 was drawing to a close.
The world of Ovi is truly the hotbed of creativity at Nokia today. Even so much that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with everything that’s happening. We have been thrilled to learn that already in this early phase there are quite a few people who passionately want to stay up to date with what we are cooking for Ovi. We couldn’t have dreamed of that a year ago. To engage with you better is why we decided to set up a blog.
In the Ovi blog we:
- Make it easy to stay up to date with all things Ovi
- Provide access to Beta phase services we are not yet actively marketing on the site
- Tell behind-the-scenes stories of Ovi developments
- Provide you a channel to interact with the Ovi team
Only people actually building the Ovi services will be posting in the blog. While this means the story might be a bit rough around the edges, we want to give an open, transparent way to affect where Ovi is going.
Welcome to take Ovi forward with us. Let’s create something amazing together.

Hi Aapo! I glad to see you Ovi guys and gals blogging!
I would like make a request, if I may. As an avid mac user, I would like to hear about OSX related development in this blog.
Thx!
Jussi
Yee-ha!
Keep up the good work Ovi guys !!
Oh, btw, when is the contact group syncing coming
?
Has anyone thought of an import/export feature for contacts? Having my own backup of my contacts would give me some additional peace of mind.
Hi all. I wanted to address some of the questions and comments here. First, to J-P: you will absolutely hear about OS X related Ovi developments on this blog. Many of us on the team are avid Mac users as well and we get where you are coming from. To Jim: can you clarify a bit? Ovi.com allows you to backup you contacts already over the air. Would you like to be able to do import and export from the web, say in a standard format?
Thanks!
How can I export my contacts from OVI to say a vcard or some thing else?
Hello. I also believe it would be a killer feature for OVI to be able to export the contacts to a vcard or Excel file
i just love it.
I must second the sentiments of Roberto, Warren and Jim. Once I finally got my contacts backed up to the web, I was wondering about the best way to make sure that I could merge my phone’s list with the one I keep on my Mac in addressbook.app
I can sync my desktop with Gmail or 30boxes with a vCard, or send it to other programs and services. If there was a way to import or export contacts to/from Ovi, that would be a great start.
A lot of times when I sync using the blouetooth tools on my mac, some of the numbers in my phone get clobbered. I am going to try a sync today, and if I lose any, I will be able to retrieve them from Ovi, but I’d like that process to be more seamless.
