That means that MicroB is handling the download, not Application Manager... And the reason it is not using the MyDocs cache... Interesting approach.

And yes it said on second time that rootfs is too full so again nokia has manage to fck this up on too many levels. btw. is it really so that i can't change my credit card details only then when i choose to buy something?

The OVI store:
- Is many months too late
- Deceived everybody when it stopped paid apps earlier in the year
- Has a confusing and mainly unusable navigation
- Stopped accepting my registered credit card that worked well months ago and only accepts it after registering it with the same exact data again.
- Has no way to properly handle large downloads such as Zen bound - I got the same error as the ones posted above, about /var/tmp being full. App manager never came up.
At work, I've done iPhone/iPad development during the last two months. While I still don't like the closed, paternal approach of Apple at all, at least they get the technical things and user experience done right. Nokia, WAKE UP!

Still... I'm not sure the deb approach is any better... as has been said before, debs are easy to redistribute and HAM will at least clean up the cache after install.

The problem is that the file is being downloaded to rootfs. Who doesn't have 46MB free will not be able to download it.

Both things are a problem, not detecting the same download on second click is at least one more. Not presenting any visual clue to the user while downloading is major usability fail.
