AT&T joins growing list of operators supporting new content service
Espoo, Finland - Today, Ovi Store by Nokia is available globally to
an estimated 50 million Nokia device owners across more than 50 Nokia
devices including the forthcoming flagship device, the Nokia N97.
Customers can visit store.ovi.com through their Nokia device browser
to immediately begin downloading, personalizing and making their
devices smarter and more fun with applications, games, videos,
podcasts, productivity tools, web and location-based services and
much more.
"Ovi Store is open for business and we've stocked the shelves with
both local and global content for a broad range of Nokia devices,"
said Tero Ojanperä, Executive Vice President, Nokia Services. "Ovi
Store makes shopping for content and applications easy and fun for
feature phone and smartphone owners alike."
In available countries, customers can update their devices with the
Ovi Store mobile application by selecting the Ovi Store icon in the
Download! folder on their device. The mobile client is available in
English, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish and supports operator
billing in Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Singapore,
Spain and the United Kingdom. Globally, credit card billing is
available through the mobile application and the mobile website.
Additional countries, languages, devices and features will be added
throughout the year. AT&T plans to make Ovi Store available to its
customers in the United States later this year.
"AT&T looks forward to introducing Ovi Store for our customers later
this year," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T
Mobility and Consumer Markets. "AT&T has a reputation for providing
the most customer choice of content and applications and offering Ovi
Store is in line with that strategy."
