You can install it from the terminal if you've root access:

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i <filename>

I've just downloaded as well and if you go into file manager and open the.deb file it will as you where to open it, yes. Obviously, you select Angry Birds which opens the original game file but, yup, you've guessed it, the extra levels are not showing. Only the original 21 that I have already completed!

Any thoughts?

nathaneous - go to X terminal, its in your menu, then type that dpkg -i <filename>

you might have to navigate to the folder where it is saved. like DOS

Has anyone actually browsed through the new paid content on Ovistore? I've just seen some 'mms' messages for sale

Pure classic, thanks Nokia....unless your planning on releasing mms in next firmware update why do you continue to mock us?

1. install "rootsh" from the app manager

2. Launch terminal application from menu (the one with "$-" icon)

3. Type "sudo gainroot" without the quotes at the prompt

4. Type "dpkg -i <filename>" without the quotes, where <filename> is the name of the .deb file you downloaded

It worked fine here with a Visa (and the new levels are *good*). I wonder if we'll see Paypal support (or even Nokia's Money or similar).

Paid and downloaded from ovi on my N900. Gave me the option to open in app manager or save.

Opened in app manager and installed no problems.
