I clicked on it this morning accidentally (before coffe) and it took me straight to the store. No more "coming soon".

because the file that is downloaded is a simple text file(.install) that contains details about the package, not the package itself which is downloaded later by the Applicatiion Manager. The .install file is typically <1kb (0.001 mb)

RevdKathy. Test itunes+iphone, but thats not probably fair comparison. I even do not when comparison is fair by some people, but somehow you have to classify things in some order.

Test iphones app storage from iphone and make your conclusions after that. I do not say that it's amazing but it's quite good. Even how you can browse high quality big screenshot in end of programs info page made me go wow.

Most of my freinds drive 3 year old candy bars. I don't have any way to test an iphone. My question is, were the apps in the ovi store what you expected?

Hi to all,

I must be the oddman out. I can access it but keep getting
the following.

We're sorry.
The Nokia Account authentication system is currently down. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This comes up with both firefox and my N900.

Any ideas ?

From what I expected from Nokia? Then answer is pretty much yes. Am I thrilled or amazed..no. Should i be? I wish I could, but after using iphones app storage it raised bar to another level

.edit
Ohh you asked apps not storage usage experience. Yes they are nice little demos even they are not optimized as they should be optimized. Jerkyness and some of them seems to be non optified.

It's about what I expected, yes. I'd hoped for better, but wasn't surprised at what there was. Yes, it's pretty underwhelming at the moment (apart from Angry Birds of course), but until they get the store out there, developers aren't going to submit applications.

Hopefully we'll see more useful applications arriving soon (and hopefully they fix whatever issues they currently have with access to commercial content).

It has been noted many times in various threads, this is a case of mismatched expectations. Just as a whole lot of people mean 'shiny and animated' when saying 'commercial grade'. Ovi is a distribution channel, it will not make software good or bad. ALL of the things there could have been put into the non-free section Extras and there would be not a single bit of difference. What people do not realize is that it's not an app store they want, but quality applications (or, to be more precise, that they have been 'trained' by Apple's precedent that AppStore equals 'apps you like').
