Nokia is discontinuing it’s service Ovi Contacts for general public, The service will stay but you won’t be able to access your address book from the web browser… After January 24, 2012 You will no longer be able to view your contacts on the web.

Syncing &  Backup will continue to work normally & you will not loose any of your contacts but you will be unable to view them from the website.

 

.

The address book of your Nokia handset (I am talking about the new Nokia Phones which are supported by Ovi Store) is stored in the online Ovi Contacts, Same as Android phones use Google Contacts to store your Contacts Online. but Nokia Ovi Contacts has only 1 limitation.

.

Until now, Nokia Ovi offered no export feature so there was no easy way to download your Nokia Phone’s address book from the web to any computer unless you had a Nokia device at hand. The Ovi Suite (Nokia’s desktop synchronization software) didn’t have an export option for Contacts either so your phone contacts were sort-of locked in Nokia’s cloud.

.

Nokia has set up a microsite – exportcontacts.ovi.com – where you can download your entire Ovi address book in the popular CSV format with just a click. You don’t need the Nokia device or the Ovi desktop suite to export your contacts. The CSV file can can then be imported into Google Contacts.

 

If you are a Nokia user, You have to hurry up, because according to an email from Nokia, the web access to Ovi Contacts will be disable after January 24, 2012.
