I just got a notification that there was an update available for Angry Birds and, stupid me, I installed it. I had purchased the additional levels during the magical few minutes several weeks ago when the Ovi Store was functional on my N900. Now, I no longer have access to the levels I purchased. Instead, when I try to access them, a browser window opens the Ovi store site, which helpfully tells me the product is no longer available.

This certainly isn't a big deal - I'm out two bucks. Who really cares? But it's emblematic of how incompetent Nokia is. There are husband and wife pornographers who have been successfully selling their sex tapes on the net for 10 years, but Nokia just can't figure out how make an app store function. Is there an "Internet Commerce for Dummies" book that I can send to someone at Nokia? Could they maybe sponsor a Google Summer of Code student to completely rebuild the Ovi Store?
