Five new updates are now available for the Nokia N97 multimedia computer. These updates include, Ovi Maps 3.1, N-Gage 1.3, Nokia Messaging 10.0, Ovi Contacts 1.20 and a small application that helps you in freeing some space on your N97 making it a bit faster. So when you run software updater next time this is what you will get,


- Nokia Maps 3.1, upgrade over the Nokia Maps 2.0, which comes with the device


- N-Gage App 1.3 - N-Gage gaming services on your Nokia N97


- Nokia Ovi Contacts 1.2 - This upgrade will add Ovi contacts and chat service on your Nokia N97


- Nokia Messaging 10.0 - Consumer push email on your Nokia N97. This can also be used to replace the email function of the Nokia Messaging Application


These upgrades sound cool and would make your N97 a bit more loaded with features. People who are complaining about the sluggish UI (I know there are lot of them out there) will find the memory freeing application useful.


Nokia Music Store Coming to India by '09 End

Posted: 15 Jul 2009 07:16 PM PDT

Musicstore_Nokia.jpgNokia is all set to launch its Nokia Music Store in India by the end of this year. The company has already soft launched the Music Store and right now it is in testing phases. Nokia wants to make sure that before they do a launch across India, the Store works without hiccups and they have good collection of songs in their database. Vaibhav Sharma from The Symbian Blog, who explored the Nokia Music Store is already impressed with the amount of songs they have for disposal. The Nokia Music Store can be used on a laptop as well as your Nokia phone to browse though the music catalog and also buy the music. Sadly when the music store launches, the users would be able to access its only if they have vouchers given by Nokia or if they buy a new handset enabled for this music store. I guess this can be a turn-off for many.


To start with Nokia Music Store not only has Hindi tracks from big international labels but it also features Indian music labels, regional songs and good amount of English songs. The biggest question, which comes to my mind every time I think about online music buying is, Do people still buy music online/offline? With the proliferation and penetration of different torrent and P2P sites, the answer to this question is pretty simple. Anyway, let hope that, Nokia Music Store does well when it goes live in India and we will also get to see lot of "Comes With Music" handsets in the Indian market :-)
