Along with its snazzy new batch of mobile phones, Nokia has also launched a new umbrella brand for all its internet services. It's called Ovi, which means 'door' in Finnish, and will help you keep in touch with your social networks, as well as acting as a gateway to Nokia services like music and games downloading.
Ovi works in a similar way to Three's Planet Three service which operates as a portal for downloading music and games, as well as for checking your contract details.
New Nokia Music Store
The aforementioned Nokia Music Store is another of Nokia's launches today. It's been a long time coming, but the store is set to offer millions of tracks from major artists and independent labels, as well as local bands from your area.
In the UK, the Three Music Store is currently the number two music download site behind iTunes so Nokia has every right to expect its own service to fare rather well. The pricing is going to be pretty much the same as other sites too - around 79p for each 192kbps WMA track.
The first version of Ovi.com is scheduled to go live in English at some point towards the end of the year, while the music store is set to open its virtual doors in the autumn.
