  • Push Email? I use Exchange ActiveSync & Imap directly to my numerous email servers
  • Music? I sync my iTunes library via Nokia Multi-Media Transfer
  • Sharing? I use PixelPipe to publish to various social-media platforms
  • File Sync? I use Grsync
  • App Store? I get all I need from App Manager and the repos

Unless I'm missing something else that Ovi provides, it adds no value to me.
I would be in the same camp. Personally, I think I am much more interested in a minimalistic "vanilla" experience where I can add on the software and services as I see fit. Particularly if I'm interested in using such a device in a business.
