Why is my Ovi Store is ALL FREE?

As the title said, a moment ago I've been in the Ovi Store on my N900.
I don't know why the store say the price of all apps are free...
It's not my wrong selection to show only free apps but, I've choose the best seller option and it show up that all are no cost.

Just have tried downloading Zen Bound, and it's work! For free!
WHAT WAS JUST HAPPEN TO THE STORE?
:confused:

Download everything you can, take it off your phone and put it on megaupload or rapidshare or something and give us links :d

No, I just want to know what happen and how to solve it.
I feel like I'm doing anything illegally when downloading the software that aren't free for free - on my No.1 mobile computer...

Try to download something. It'll likely fail... or have you tested it already, and it's working?

Re: Why is my Ovi Store is ALL FREE?

OP thanked in two posts because I respect both the willingness to mention this, and being willing to express moral compunction against downloading not-free-software for free.

As for why this is happening, no idea. If you really want, you can report it to Nokia. *Shrug* (I'm sure some tech savvy people may be able to figure out how to duplicate this though, if they looked hard enough.)

This could be, in part, because I've already been through Ovi several times and gotten what I wanted. It could be because I don't have a lot of imagination when it comes to using my N900. It could be because the selection for the N900 is a bit meager.

I already had Zen Bound. Good program.

There's nothing to solve here...except maybe our Ovi stores' are still charging us for some apps :p

I personally don't think there's anything illegal about it. If you see the apps for $0.00, then you get it for free. It may be a one time thing, or maybe it's some local promotion? (like the comes with music versions)

Edit: Did you select "Top Free"? because there is also "Best Sellers" and "New" to choose from.

No... I have tried choosing "Best Sellers", but all apps are free...

Now, about 8 hours after first expect, Stellarium Mobile, Morho Quick Panorama Pro, Joiku Spot Wifi Hot Spot N900, Zenbound, even Angryman... They are still free of cost.

Also, I have tried downloading Zenbound(the full version one) and it's work nicely w/o any problem...

Anyone see something like me?

Re: Why is my Ovi Store is ALL FREE?

Was just curious to see.
With those priviledges it should be like a kid in an unmanned candy store but with whats available in there its more like an open store that only sells Sprouts/Marmite. :)

Inkirby, you are right. This is signal for something. It's a sign that all good applications will come to you and your N900. It also means your life will be richly blessed with wonderful friends you can demonstrate your new apps to. You will get excited about developing apps and actually come up with 3G video call application and also PR1.4 (hooray!). Also, in some Finnish believe, if you cross the year 2011 with 1.4, it is the positive sign of extended performance - in this case, your PR 1.4 will help extend our N900 battery life to at least 5 days! These will please the N900 community greatly...

I hope law of attraction works :D

hmmm....this is interesting.

in my home country, there is no ovi store, its there but ain't working.

if there is, prices are 50-60% cheaper than the country i am located currently.

perhaps for every country varies.

NOTE: i downloaded full version (yes, not DEMO) of tower bloxx when it was first released here and 'twas free....now i have to pay.

sorry, didn't provide screenies....
