...Offering local processing would also avoid the ridiculous situation where the banks will most likely make more profit out of Ovi than either the developers or Nokia combined.
And they could eliminate the OVI = NeoNationalist factor
(Note: NeoNationalism should not be confused with NeoNazism,
although they both lead eventually to the same kinds of behaviour)


The OVI strategy of telling people they live in the wrong country
and therefore implying they are not really human enough to do their shopping there is

beyond words.



The Lies begin on the OVI Support pages
"Q&A

Why Ovi Store is not available in my country?

Ovi Store is available in virtually every country in the world with a few exceptions based on longstanding embargoes with a handful of watch listed countries. Those countries include: Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea and Cuba."
Include but not limited to, apparently.

Brazilians are of no interest, according to OVI.

Scots have a thing up their kilts for OVI or what ?

Australians need not apply for certain OVI apps ?

OVI definitely hates extraterrestrials

the bottom line is a very well-turned bit from davidmaxwaterman:

"I don't expect my choice of s/w to be dependent on where I happen to be at the time, but it seems to be that way :/ "

The point is we can buy Nokia hardware but not the software to run on it.
