Ovi Store - Payment options
 
Any one think the Ovi Store should bill purchases to paypal or how about to the phone bill?

AFAIK the store is designed so that you can pay via your phone bill; this requires a contract between nokia and your cell phone operator, though, so it's not available everywhere. (i know that in my country there's only one carrier that offers this service.)

The phone bill payment option would be VERY useful.

they wouldn't need to. not this specific model. they'd just have to sign a contract with nokia so that you can be billed when you access ovi store content with their sim card (no matter in which phone, locked or unlocked, on contract or not). that was my understanding of it.

A word of warning, I posted it in the other Ovi store thread:

If you attempted to purchase an N900 from the Nokia USA online store or by phone and ran into a rejection for any reason, your card(s) will unusable in the Ovi store.

It appears that Nokia's extremely paranoid and inflexible sales system is backing Ovi as well.
