The Nokia Ovi Stores hits 1.6 million downloads per day

14 April, 2010
Only a month ago around 1.5 million apps were downloaded from the Ovi Store each day and now the down- loads per day reach 1.6 million. That sure sounds impressive. But the App Store could only laugh at...

Bricked, 15 Apr 2010 iPhone sells so bad Still a miracle it sells at all wi... moreI'm sorry you iSheep only come here, trash nokia and when provided with solid evidence, you fail to see it.

You only make claims and claims based on your dreams with absolutely no proof.

Just look at what OS 4.0 brought you :)) are you proud of this? :))


iPhone OS 4.0

Web:
iDon't reflow text.
iDon't offer a real web experience, most sites identify me as a phone or don't even work!
iDon't save web pages for offline viewing, i'm missing apps.
iDon't have audio/video streaming for 90% of the multimedia sites.
iDon't handle any in-browser applications or games.
iDon't have Flash (not even Flash Lite)
iDon't have push e-mail for other services than Yahoo, Gmail, Microsoft exchange(1) others work only via MobileMe for 100$/year(2)
iDon't have push idle so battery drains fast even on push, the alternative is "fetch" which drains the battery even faster
iDon't have push e-mail if i'm jailbroken, even if you pay!
iDon't process HTML attachments correctly.

File management:
iDon't download content for offline playback, except through iTunes.
iDon't have access to my internal folders by any means - no app in the iStore allows this!
iDon't even have access to set mp3s as ringtones.
iDon't handle Flash applications.
iDon't have MIDP/JAVA support.
iDon't handle DivX, XviD, FLV native video.
iDon't handle ZIP, RAR or SFX - no app in the iStore allows this!
iDon't have a search option for web pages.

Connectivity:
iDon't handle videocall, but you can use this to enable it.
iDon't handle tethering, unless you pay extra to the carrier.
iDon't send MMS right, in some cases iShow wrong sender number.
iDon't A2DP right (BT stereo) right: lags on videos(1) and games(2), due to the lack of native multitasking support.
iDon't fully support the Bluetooth AVRCP(1) industry standard(2) - some headsets work but can't change tracks, some don't.
iDon't support any services when pairing with a MacBook.
iDon't have any BT file sharing my BT is almost useless!

User Interface:
iDon't have themes support.
iDon't have widgets and/or similar interactive content.
iDon't have a stable UI - a lot of artifacts and errors show up.
iDon't have a scalable OS, apps on the iPad are simply stretched to fit.
iDon't have a desktop, entire UI is organized as a single "start" menu.
iDon't have parallax (finger/screen offset) adjusting - low precision especially on small objects.
iDon't really have a “snappy” UI, iHide my slugishness with animations & transitions.

iPhoneOS/SDK limitations:
iDon't have native multitasking(1), apps have to be specially coded to handle multitasking(2), first true-multitasking handheld – 1993(3)
iDon't allow cross compiling.
iDon't allow open development.
idon't have proper platform security.
iDon't have proper application security(1), any non iStore app can damage your phone(2)
iDon't have any power optimization - the device overheats as admitted by Apple.

Camera:
iDon't record video above VGA(640480), my power-hungry cpu is useless!.
iDon't have noise reduction at all!.
iDon't have exposure control.

Misc:
iDon't handle handwriting.
iDon't have built-in basic functionality, eg: TO-DO application, save web pages, calendar week view, etc.
iDon't have freeware, iTunes treats free applications like purchases + FairPlay DRM wrap.
iDon't have user privacy neither online shopping(1), nor for visited sites(2)

    It's more up to date than apple's site and it's obviously coming from one of the few people who have OS 4.0 installed.

    Making up lies about sales? http://gigaom.com/2010/03/18/the-mobile-os-market/
    Iphone doesn't sell good and the OS, the user experience and even the few features it provides are a mess:

    You'll never see such issues on a nokia or blackberry handset. EVER :))

        ste, 15 Apr 2010i really dont understand why people hate iphones so much...... moreNo one really hates iPhones, I personally stick with hating people, especially fanboys.

        And since it's statistically proven that the same people keep buying the same brand over and over again, no matter the shortcomings we tend to call them iSheep.
        http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2010/04/05/most_of_ipad_buyers_were_apple_fanboys_says_survey

        Last but not least this is probably how the iDon't list has shown up.
        iPhone isn't great but it isn't bad either what it is it's certainly the last device you can brag about: http://tiny.cc/iPhone3GS_review

        Some people are frustrated about their bragging rights so they hang on to every little straw "it has apps" yeah, so?
        Check a warez forum and see who has more apps and which ones are downloaded more.

        So yeah when your phone looks like this: http://tiny.cc/iPhone3GS_review
        and you're actually advertising it, it's only normal to be ridiculed.

More lies.

Symbian only just became open-source where as andriod has been for a long time. Also, most Andriod users will download apps from the app-store.Many of the users are new to andriod and haven't put their loyalty anywhere else in terms of finding apps. Symbian users who currently download apps do it from forums and that is where their loyalty lies. I'm not saying ovi store is great, but its not crap.

                                      http://tiny.cc/iPhone3GS_review

                                      Considering the rate of innovation apple has, they'll never catch up.
                                      Look at iPhone 1,2,3 almost nothing new or innovative and 4 brings 4 or 5 noticeable features...

                                      The only mobile I'd consider next to a nokia is android.

                                      Then don't let us mention Nokia's MeeGo with Intel and thousands of other corporations joining over-night.

                                      N900 is one device - 4 months - instant success.

                                      And as intel is one of the world's giants I've never seen them partner with anyone till now; What I've seen is apple begging to be let in after they couldn't compete with those awful motorola CPUs, the same way steve begged for bill gates's help when apple was going down.
