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.

08 months ago
The next version of Symbian, called Symbian Belle, is announced. The latest version of our smartphone operating system looks and works better than ever before. Headline features are gorgeous new widgets, more customization options, new apps and built-in NFC functionality.
As before, the upgraded operating system will be available on new Symbian smartphones and will be made available as a free update for users with phones running Symbian Anna.
Symbian Belle adds to the work done by Anna to improve and modernize the Symbian experience. Here are some of the highlights of what you’ve got to look forward to:
Free-form, re-sizable, live widgets:
widgets like the clock, email, music player, favourite contacts and the calendar have been redesigned and now come in five different sizes. They can also be resized and rearranged to create a completely personalised set of screens. There are also new ‘Toggle’ widgets for tasks like switching on Bluetooth and changing profiles.
More homescreens:
with Symbian Belle the maximum number of homescreens rises from three to six, so now you can have absolutely everything close at hand.
Improved status bar:
the status bar sports a modern, flat look and incorporates a pull down notifications tab that incorporates common settings and notification of incoming messages, missed calls and the rest.
Modernized navigation:
the navigation and options bar at the bottom of the screen sports a modern, new look, similar to that first seen on the Nokia N9.
New apps:
a new suite of powerful business apps from Microsoft includes Lync (IM for businesses, like Microsoft Communicator), Sharepoint, OneNote, Exchange ActiveSync and PowerPoint Broadcaster.
Informative lock screen:
the lock screen now tells you about missed calls, messages in your inbox and more, so you can check your phone at a glance. You can now also add a coloured wallpaper to your lock screen.
NFC devices:
With Symbian Belle, Near-Field Communications (NFC) is now deeply integrated into the operating system, so you can share pictures, connect with accessories, and check-in – all with just a tap.
Visual multitasking:
Now you can flick between larger live images of your open apps to see what’s going on at a glance and move quickly between your apps.
Nokia has unveiled the latest update to the Symbian OS as well as new devices that will come with it. The devices in question that will receive the Belle update are the Nokia 700, 701 and 600 in Q3 this year. Belle is the successor to Symbian Anna OS. Older device owners need not despair the N8, E6, E7, X7, C7, C6-01 and Oro will all be able to upgrade to Symbian Belle some time later.
Nokia 600
Nokia 600 previously known as “Cindy” in leaked images is meant to be a music-centric phone sold as the younger of the two devices. Even then the specs are still on par with the rest. It is powered by the 1GHz CPU, 3.2-inch nHD display, 5MP full focus camera with LED and 720p video capture, NFC, FM transmitter and 2GB internal storage (expandable with microSD). You didn’t think this phone would go by without something setting it apart did you? It’s claimed to be Nokia’s loudest phone, registering at 106 phons. Another feature of note is an FM radio with internal antenna, you all know what that means. You will get 15 hours of GSM talk time all at the price of $260.
Nokia 700
The Nokia 700, which earlier known as the “Zeta” is claimed by Nokia to be the world’s most compact touchscreen monoblock smartphone. It packs a 1GHz CPU, a 3.2-inch AMOLED “ClearBlack” display protected by Gorilla Glass, NFC, 5MP full-focus camera and a pentaband 3G radio. To please you green fans out there, it is constructed using green materials such as bioplastics and recycled metals. Nokia claims to deliver a talk time of 7.3 hours with the 700 and will be available in five different colors. You should be able to grab on with $390.
Nokia 701
The Nokia 701, previously known as “Helen” is calimed by Nokia to have the brightest ever mobile phone display, taking advantage of a 3.5-inch IPS LCD screen with the same ClearBlack tech and Gorilla Glass found in the 700. For those who don’t know, iPhone 4 features and IPS screen as well, so this display must be something to consider. Of all the phones announced today, this seems to be the highest end device. It comes with a 1GHz CPU, pentaband 3G radio, NFC, 8MP full focus camera with dual LED and a front-facing camera, and 8GB internal storage (expandable up to 40GB using a microSD card). You will get to choose between four hues and the phone can give you an amazing 17 hours of GSM talk time (comes down to 8.8 hours on 3G). This device will set you back by $420.
This Symbian Belle update will be available for only these Phones

Nokia N9
011 months ago
At the Nokia Connection event in Singapore today, Nokia introduced the Nokia N9, the first-ever pure touch smartphone that is all about making things simpler. Nokia N9 focuses on the most important things that people do: use apps, get notifications and switch between different activities. Navigating the UI is done with a simple gesture, a swipe of a finger. Let’s have a closer look at what the Nokia N9 is bringing to the game.
The body of the Nokia N9 is made from unibody polycarbonate material. There are no front-facing buttons at all. You unlock the phone by just double-tapping the screen. The Nokia N9 has the latest Nokia Maps with free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation for walking and driving. It will also be NFC-enabled. You can go and experience the Nokia N9 for yourself at swipe.nokia.com. (One thing I would like to mention is, there website is awesome!)
SWIPE
The team behind the MeeGo-based Nokia N9 brought together elements of industrial design, software development and user interface advancements, as well as a developer platform to create a better way to use a phone. All that’s needed to use the Nokia N9 is a simple gesture, a swipe of the finger. It is an intuitive way to use all the different features and functions. Whenever you are in an application, you just swipe from the edge of the screen to go back home.
UNIBODY DESIGN
The Nokia N9 has a beautiful one-piece, unibody design where the hardware and software fit together seamlessly. The large, 3.9 inch curved glass AMOLED display lets the applications shine and take full benefit of the user interface. Thanks to the innovative laminated display technology, it looks like applications are literally floating on top of the screen. The body of the Nokia N9 is made from the best in polycarbonate material engineering today, enabling superior antenna performance over most other competitors’ smartphones. This means better reception, better voice quality and fewer dropped calls. The Nokia N9 comes in three colours: black, cyan and magenta and with large storage capacities of 16GB and 64GB on the two variants to be made available.
NO BUTTONS
The Nokia N9 is the world’s first pure touch screen phone without any front-facing buttons at all. You unlock the phone by just double-tapping the screen.
THREE HOME VIEWS
The user interface in Nokia N9 is designed around the things people typically use the most. This is why there are three recognizable home views arranged in a carousel: 1) Applications for launching and organizing your apps. 2) Events for social networking feeds and notifications for calls, texts, calendar events, etc. 3) Open applications for switching between all live apps you have used recently. You can pinch and zoom the screen to see either four or nine open app icons. In fact, the Nokia N9 delivers the best multitasking experience on any phone!
POWERFUL CAMERA
The 8MP auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and super wide 28mm lens works faster from start to capture than any other manufacturer’s smartphone camera in the market. HD video and true 16:9 resolution photos are supported. You can share your photos via MMS, email, NFC and many online services including Flickr and Facebook.
FAST WEB BROWSER
The fast web browser is built on the latest Webkit 2 technology. Even while loading a web page, the screen remains responsive. You can have several browser windows open in the open applications view and switching between them is, again, fast and easy. Favourite websites are shown as visual thumbnails, supported by a full browsing history. Wide HTML5 support offers access to rich web applications and fast video playback.
LATEST MAPS
The Nokia N9 has the latest Nokia Maps with free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation for walking and driving. There is also a dedicated Drive app for in-car navigation, which lets you start navigating to your destination instantly after entering your destination. Public transport routing in 85 cities means you can find the quickest route on foot or by tram, metro or train. You can also discover nearby places with cafés, shops, hotels and more, all marked along the way.
DOLBY SOUND
Dolby Headphone and Dolby Digital Plus support on the Nokia N9 turns regular stereo audio into personal surround sound on any headphones – first on any mobile phone.
NFC-ENABLED
Pairing between NFC-enabled accessories is easier than ever before – you do Bluetooth pairing only once and after that you can connect to them just by touching. You can also share content like photos or business cards via NFC.
The things that make the Nokia N9 unique – the industrial design, developments in software and user interface, and the ease of developer experience with Qt – will live on in a variety of ways in Nokia. You can go and experience the Nokia N9 for yourself at swipe.nokia.com. The site is full of interactive videos that show how the product works in real life – it is the second best thing to actually having the product in your hand! The Nokia N9 will be in stores later this year, with availability and local pricing to be announced closer to the sales start date
