            ABC, 12 Jan 2010So does this mean Ovi Suite will now work in Ubuntu (Linux)... moreIf you bought a Linux phone, and use Ubuntu, you should know enough programming to make a basic plugin. But of course you might be using Linux because you want to look edgy and cool, but couldn't afford a Mac. That's mostly the demographic of Ubuntu.

              Has anyone had any trouble downloading the update? It says the target location does not have enough memory to install it. I disabled the other catalogs and it still does not work. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Thanks

                That's great for the Ovi Store on the device. Now if they would only release a update to have portait mode for the device It would be nearly complete for me. Other then the fact I live in Canada and our HSDPA is not 1900mhz or 2100mhz. Oh well Wifi it is and good olde EDGE :(.

                        So does this mean Ovi Suite will now work in Ubuntu (Linux) as well??

                        So far it's been just a joke to make a Linux phone and then you can't make a backup copy of your phone if you are using Linux on your home PC!!!
