The store for all reasons

MANILA, Philippines - With almost every handy device in this jam-packed mobile world now armed with full touch screens, multiple megapixel cameras, Wi-Fi capability, GPRS features, and immense memory capacity, the battle for mobile phone supremacy enters a new playing field. With features of cellular phones on more or less equal footing across the board, Nokia decided to take the battle to a front where it is sure it will win the war: solutions and services. Nokia gives its users customer satisfaction by letting them define how they want their mobile phones to function instead of merely being forced to work with what you usually have.

“The Ovi Store will enable our devices to uniquely surface relevant content for consumers based on their mobile device, their interests and their needs, bringing a new generation of media services to the fingertips of millions of people around the world,” said William Hamilton-Whyte, general manager of Nokia Philippines. “The Ovi Store is a ‘smart store’ that will change the way our consumers discover and consume content on their mobile devices, ultimately making the experience easier, more fun and most importantly, more relevant.” The content will range from applications, games and videos to widgets, podcasts, location-based applications and personalization content for Nokia devices

Whether you want to save yourself from slipping into a coma from boredom, stay up-to-date with world events, or need help when traveling, the Ovi Store has an application for you.
