Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

Today Nokia Beta Labs released a beta version of Nokia Suite 3.5 and guess what, it supports Nokia N9.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

Excellent news! A complete surprise, but at last.

Trying now, hopefully it brings an end to using unreliable back versions. :-)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

Anyone tried it yet?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

http://nds2.betalabs.nokia.com/OviSu...taller_ALL.exe Direct download link :)

It kinda works. Some features are not supported on the N9, like contact groups and direct downloading from the store. It's good it finally arived, but I use IMAP, SyncML, USB mass storage and bluetooth so this massive application (102MiB download size!) provide almost no extras for me.

Nokia really is sending mixed messages about Meego/N9-support this week. First the Elopcalypse^2, next tentative rumours about a PR1.4 and now Suite-support almost exactly one year after the N9 announcement??

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

And it also supports N950 now.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

Whatever the news , if it favours any future support for N9 it is always heard with both ears opened !! (In this case both eyes opened) :)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

This is seriously great ^^

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

I'm going to download it now - from the beta labs page:

Nokia Suite 3.5.14 Beta available for testing (updated 20.6.2012)


New functionality in 3.5 release:

Copy content between your Nokia N9 and your computer

:)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

downloaded this earlier and just installed and it works

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Does it support SMS backup/restore?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

At last Nokia recognize the value of N9; it seems! Hopefully they continue their support for N9.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

SMS - yes
MMS - no

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

does it show if warraty is valid or not ?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

You have *officially* been merged!

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Then it actually makes sense to install it (that's the only thing I would need it for).

Many thanks! :)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

That's great to see that we're not going to depend on Nokia Link anymore.

Although it crashed with me: I was syncing the contacts and clicked on the msgs tab (using N950).

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

1. SMS backup works
2. SMS sync (for me does not)
3. Neither does sending SMS via Nokia Suite
4. MMS not supported

Has anyone else experienced problems with 2 and 3 above?

Edit: No luck with Outlook contacts, calendar or notes either :(

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Sms and contact sync worked just fine for me

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Tethered internet worked great as well.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Ja! Tried it, works well.

Maps were giving me a problem, but I suspect it's on my end, and no big deal anyway.

This is pretty sweet. Maybe a couple guys at Nokia got their heads out of their asses?

Perhaps this bit of work is being done under the radar of Elop?

Which is why PR1.3 may be taking a bit longer to come out, and things like this just kinda happen.

Maybe they are actually trying to push the N9 to enterprise afterall?

Screw it, glad it works. Might actually use it once in a while.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

*facepalm............of course No Mac support.

Honestly anyone who's ever used Windows even up to V7 and tries a Mac for a whole day would, in my opinion, start thinking about switching. I myself was a loyal Windows user for like 12 years and was always against Mac.....until I actually tried it and I was sold!

------->Off topic rant<---------

I'm running Snow Leopard on a 2yr old MacBook (it's the original white glossy model not the revised second gen white glossy) and it still outperforms a Windows 7 laptop with better specs even.

No viruses, no loud fan and burning hot laptop, quick for the simple things it should be quick at (web browsing, video streaming/playing etc) and hardly ever crashes.

I don't know why people are buying Windows anymore imo. Better to spend more on a Mac and have a computer that lasts years and with barely any slowdown than couple hundred on a Windows computer which slows down no matter that specs in less than a year.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

people who game, like windows :) and people who want compadibility, etc. people who dont want to pay $1000 more just for the apple name, etc. i could go on, its all people preference.

i could care less though, ive always actually wanted mac, just for the way they look. but now that Windos Surface was annoucned last night, i changed my mind.

no mac, ever that i know of. (before 2012) could never out perform my Asus G74. its a true beast. but, i am sacrificing portablity. all about preference, thats why i am selling it because it weighs 10 pounds.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Ya know, 5 years ago, I might have agreed. In the days of XP and early Vista. I would have jumped on the Mac Bandwagon. However, it changed... a lot! Windows 7 is pretty legit. While I have started to dislike Mac more and more. They treat their customers like cattle.

Now, I don't want to badmouth them too badly, they do have very nice hardware, and great customer support.

And while I don't think they necessarily "innovate" they certainly know how to bring it together in a nice package.

Unfortunately, nothing is compatible, everything is proprietary, and Windows continues to be Industry standard for... everything.

So I dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and Linux. Because I like that actually have programs, and I like things I can play with. Neither of which iOS Desktop Edition can give me.

But hey, more power to ya man, I know people who use macs and love it. I also know people who make fun of them.

Windows is all about the maintenance, if you keep your computer clean, keep that registry under control and such, no worries.

And hell, don't give me that about no viruses on macs, we all know that's not true. Even if it WERE true, the more people use it, the more viruses will be released.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

and microsoft listens to their customers, unlike how apple just says "go uses something else if you dont like it". look at WP8 on engadget that was posted today, everything that people hated about WP7 is pretty much in WP8.

i agree though, back when Windows 7 was released i wanted to use mac osx so bad

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Which viruses?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

There was the Java and Flash threats that happened a little while ago but was resolved.

Btw, when I said no viruses, I mean I myself and definitely the majority of Mac users don't have to deal with the pains of viruses.
And when I said outperform: I meant outperform with regards to regular app load times and it's solid stability. But like you said your Asus would definitely outperform when it comes to graphic intensive tasks, but no matter how much power you got under the hood you're still running Windows.

My mom has/had Windows 7 hp laptop. About almost a year after her purchase her computer starts buggin out, files seem to be gone (hidden by virus) and constantly slow and crashing. I was not in the mood to fix it myself even though I could have so I tried taken it to best buy-they wanted $200 at least plus more for each virus and issue. I had no choice but to fix it myself........It took me a whole day to make it virus/worm/trojan/spyware free!
After that incident she got a Macbook Air and loves it and believe me she is no computer wiz-still has to call me to figure out how to copy "this or that" to iPod etc, but Mac overall has a simpler interface which greatly helps her and she couldn't be happier.

So.......about this NS Beta......:)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

as guessed no support on mac, nokia link seriously sucks donkey balls. but no other options

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

You should take Nokia to the UNHRC for discriminating against "beautiful people" :)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Well, to be fair, that's more HP's fault than Windows. They used to be great, but have increasingly dropped in build quality.

Also, I don't have viruses. It's called knowing how to use a computer. My dad has viruses. He doesn't know how to use one. Also, MSE exists.

Although, true story, I put the developer build of Windows 8 in front of him, and he couldn't figure it out. It even took me a while. Even if I do like Windows7, 8 is pretty damn awful. It kinda looks like a mac...

Also, yes, viruses. Or else Apple would not have seeked the help of Kaperski. Part of the reason why they don't get them as often, is the walled garden. As in you CAN **** up a Windows computer. You're not ALLOWED to **** up a mac. Hell, half the time you can't even do what you want.

However, all that being said. I agree that Nokia should roll out Nokia Suite for mac. Especially with the increasing amount of marketshare, to ignore that market is dumb, especially if they ever want to "steal" any Iphone users.

Certainly the N9 (which in my opinion is both superior, and had it been marketed and supported properly) would be the tool... but yeah, THAT happened.

Don't take me the wrong way, I'm just a bit of a hateful person towards Apple. I am a fan of open source (yes, I'm a hypocrite, windows and all) and Apple is the antithesis to that.

But it is is a good choice for many users, it can certainly be praised (I definitely drooled over the Air refresh that made it all SSD) But I will probably roll with An Asus Ultrabook. I'm kinda waiting for a touchscreen Ultrabook with a million hours of battery life. Lolz.

Yes, I don't like Apple, but many people use it, Nokia should know this, and holding back software is not the correct thing to do.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Yes. Yes it does.

I was having issues using it to backup my phone (like I'm not just gonna do it manually anyway)

But Nokia Suite actually did it right. After it took 10 minutes to load correctly (the phone info took forever to update)

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Who cares about Mac support, where's the Linux port? ;)

I think backing up text messages, contacts, from the N900 and importing them into the N9 would be the biggest use I'd get out of the Nokia Suite.

Fortunately, everything else can be managed easily with using it as a mass storage device, which I believe you can't do with Windows Phone 7.x. Did Microsoft say they were fixing that in WP8?

Who the crap wants to HAVE to install Zune just to copy some music / pictures / video over?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

^ I care about no OSX support... :(
Oh well, I guess if they also had to focus on NS for OSX, the end result would be a crappy NS for both platforms, as the team's so tiny now.
Will have to fire up a VM for Win 7 soon methinks.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

Loving it, it's now much easier to connect internet to my PC using my phone, other missing features don't really bother me, SMSs work etc. Nice.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

Yes, but does it run on Linux?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 BETA (with N9 support)
 

There's only a link to a win executable there, none for OS X or a major Linux distro sadly.
I guess they can't spread their load too thin.... :(
If they worked on NS for all three it'd be pretty crappy, given how tiny their resources are nowadays.
Just fire up Windows 7 in a VM if you want to try it out on a Linux desktop...

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

This bloatware is Ovi Suite 3.5, not PC Suite, no matter what the betalabs denomination is.
Pc suite is at ver. 7.1 and a much lighter and friendly software. It always supported the N9, even if it can't handle the maps or the updates.

I am soo puzzled by this naming. Who is the proud author of this confusion?

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

It is called Nokia Suite. Formerly known as Ovi Suite.
PC Suite is the predecessor of both and not updated anymore afaik.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

^^ indeed.. And to boot Ovi Suite doesn't support managing agenda's, which PC Suite did. It can sync with Outlook - and only Outlook. I don't have nor want Outlook.

It's good to see Ovi Suite supports the N9. After all, more options means more power to the user. But even on my 3,4GHz quadcore with SSD I consider it slow bloatware, which (just like PC Suite) insists on installing several always-active services. Yeah you can disable those at start-up, making them run-on-demand, but still

Given the relative openess of the N9 and support for open protocols I have no need for Ovi Suite. Makes me feel sorry for those poor folks with extremely closed systems like Windows Phone or iOS.

Re: Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta officially supports Nokia N9!
 

I just installed one update for the "former" PC suite two days ago.
7.1.180.64.
Very odd...

edit: Actually it's not odd. It is in line with the Nokia road
