Ovi-Store re-opened for paid content?
 
I noticed while browsing for something else that Angry Birds Level Pack 1 is back online, along with other content I hadn't seen before in the store - some free, some not.

Is this a temporary malfunction of Ovi Store or are they back in business for good now?

Some of the paid content seems to be DRMed material again that they'd removed earlier (didn't try it), and also the MMS-"applications" are back, so it could well be that there's just something wrong.

Just noticed the angry birds pack aswell. I wonder whether this would install smoothly...

I just brought the angry birds level pack 1 and downloaded it to 'my documents'. Its saved as a deb file? Does anyone know how i can install it from here because when i open the file it asks what application to open it with?

oh dear... they spoiled it again...

@nathaneous: do you have the latest firmware? i've heard it should allow you to install deb files just by opening them.

No i'm in UK so one of the unlucky ones that the new firmware bypassed :(
If what your saying is true, then i won't be able to use the file until the major firmware update is released in a few weeks.

Nokia once again prevail in screwing me out of money :(

And it does seem the Angry Birds level pack is up...

...however it seems the billing system is shared, and if you (like me) had issues back in November/December when trying to order your N900 and got repeated card rejections, it will plague you even on the Ovi store.

you can still install the deb from the command line then.
