Free Apps for January

If you are like me, January is always a difficult month.  Between the weather and the post-holiday doldrums, it definitely takes a toll on you, but it shouldn’t have to be so difficult!  That is why the kind folks at Polarbit and Store have decided to offer 4 free games for a limited time.  Plenty of gaming fun to keep you busy at home, school or at the office (which is what keeps me entertained during those long wintery days in Helsinki).  Get them for your Nokia 5800, N97, N97 Mini, X6, 5230 or 5530.

With Armageddon Squadron go back to WWII and climb aboard some of the best known aircraft from the era and go through bombing raids and dogfights against your enemies.   No one ever gets tired of great car racing games, and Raging Thunder keeps the thrills going with some great 3D racing.  Wave Blazer takes you to the oceans with a four-thousand horsepower engine which will leave you breathless as you glide over the water at high speeds.  Can’t get enough of playing first person shooters at home on your consoles? Well what would be better than taking it on the go with Toon Warz!

Set Your (Ovi) Files Free

Hi, I’m Tam Huynh, a product manager on the Ovi Experience team. I’m here to announce a simple and fantastic change to Ovi Files: we’re making it FREE of charge! What does this mean for you?

Hey wait, I was paying to use Files!

Thank you for being a loyal customer! We’ve issued a pro-rated refund to your credit card for the remainder of your subscription. You don’t have to do anything, except continue to enjoy using Files.

Why are you making Ovi Files available for free?

On-the-go file access is a basic component of a complete mobile lifestyle offering. Providing Ovi Files for free enables Nokia to connect more people to Ovi and accelerate the creation of even more advanced Files and Ovi features.

I’ve been using Files as part of a time-limited or device-bundled trial.

Thanks for giving us a try! Since Files is now free, you can now use it for as long as you want. If your Anytime Files storage allocation was less than 10 GB, we’ve increased your storage to this level.

I’m new here. What’s this “Ovi Files”?

Ovi Files lets you remotely access your computer-based files from your mobile phone and web browser.

Nice elevator pitch, Tam. Really, how can Files make my life easier? Well here are two examples that we all can relate to:

  • Send files to your co-workers: Is your boss screaming for that PowerPoint presentation you forgot on your home computer? You know, the one you were slaving away on at 2 am? No worries and no USB memory stick required: you can use Files to remotely send it to him. Send it from Caltrain, send it from Heathrow, or even while he’s looking at you.
  • Mirror your files online: It’s not cheap or green to leave your computer turned on all the time. But how do you get to your stuff if your computer is off? Answer: Ovi Files. Our Anytime Files feature lets you create an online copy of your files that you can always access, even if your computer is off or loses its Internet connection.

Most importantly, your communication to Ovi Files is secure: we encrypt the connections between your computer(s), our servers and your browser.

Did I mention that Files is FREE and works with your Windows PC, Macintosh and mobile phone? You’ll get 10 GB of Anytime Files storage as well. And you don’t even need a Nokia phone. But we’ll like you more if you get one! :-)

So if you’re already a files users, keep on enjoying this service and if you’re not, give it a try and let us know what you think.

Ovi Files is now free of charge!
