Nokia’s Ovi suite is made up of a multitude of applications, which work together to create an experience similar to MyPhone or MobileMe. Contacts is one of the core programs – it has just received a significant update.
Nokia Beta Labs reports the following:
It’s time to do the semi-monthly update for Ovi Contacts. Recently, in the Beta Labs forum I made a promise that we’d update the 3rd Edition (original and FP1 versions) version of the client soon. Soon is now. It fixes some of the inconvenient capability loss issues we had, which translates to more reliable voice message and location sending features.
Since the last blog update, we’ve made a couple of server-side changes to enable the combo searches with firstname and lastname. Not a whole lot of IM services out there enables search these days. We wanted to have one, so that you’d find people to talk to. Of course, you can opt-out so that you won’t be made visible in the search too.
Also as per reported in the Beta Labs Forum at some point, there was an issue between connectivity to Google Talk and sharing user vcard details across. Now, this should work without a problem.
From now on, with some very well tested and hand-picked devices, we’ll be starting to distribute the client via Download! and nokia.mobi channels. We hope that this will help people take the client in to use even more easily.
