TomH — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:09:41 +0000

At WOM World/Nokia, we’ve been doing a bit of activity around the N97 Mini lately with a few of our friends. One of whom was Rupert Howe at Twitter Vlog, who has posted a video of his experience - it’s fair to say his night in the pub was more memorable than most.

There’s more to come on our activity on here over the next few days. For now, head over to Twitter Vlog to take a look.

The Ovi Store has been around for almost half a year now and a few facts and figures about its progress have emerged, as Phat Trance at Daily Mobile reports.

Amongst the nuggets of information are that: ‘On average, each registered user has downloaded at least 8 items from Ovi Store’, and: ‘In October, the number of content items downloaded was over 70% higher than in Sept’.

What are your thoughts on Ovi now that it’s had time to find its feet? Head over and tell Daily Mobile or Tweet us @womworldnokia.

Along with the news that the N900 has started shipping today (as reported by almost everyone on Twitter and assorted pages), there’s a site that contains the full video some of you may have seen glimpses of. There’s also channels to find out more and get involved with developing.

In other New Site News, Nokia Messaging has gone live with a fresh site. Cj covers the news, saying it’s ‘pretty neat’ to find everything in one place.

A couple more people have brought the Nokia Maps Good Things to the attention of their readers.

Varun over at Fone Arena has a great picture of the giant arrow down by London’s City Hall (pop by if you’re in the area, especially once the sun has gone down). He also posts details about the competition launched where your (UK) town can have an exclusive Alexandra Burke concert.

World of Nokia’s Christian has also put together some thoughts, including a video of a special message he received.

Good Things - a round up

More comment from the last few days where 10 of our good friends gathered in London to find the Good Things.

Glenn Letham has posted on GIS User about the experience, and shares a link to his excellent Ovi gallery which documents the journey pretty much from start to finish. He also details the mechanics of getting your Good Things up on the Nokia arrow.

Varun Krish details the ‘adventurous journey’ that led them to the final destination, and the arrow they had come to see.

Finally come Ibrahim Jogee’s thoughts on the ‘incredible’ experience over at The Nokia Review - he’s keen to get his hands on the N97 Mini and see if it can handle all he can ‘throw at it’.
