I went through and found both SPiN and Zen Bound had been updated since I first downloaded them.
I think that Angry Birds update came to me through app manager. That is ofcourse from different publisher and free but from Ovi anyway.

If the situation is really the way you described for all paid content then this really is a problem, five downloads is really little (a couple of updates, a couple of reflashes, and one download that goes wrong and that's it).

Yes, free apps get updated fine, as you just download the .install file from the store, then the package is installed from the OVI repository. Whenever the version in the repository gets updated, you get an update notification.

Seems that with N900 I learn something new every day

Well, sometimes it is just these plain stupid things like this

But luckily there are also things like FCam API

Yes, I've read about how helpful they are...
(Though if I was in that situation I guess I would still try - after all, Nokia Austria seems to be BY FAR more supportive than the rest, actually, what I've seen of them so far they're more like what Nokia as a whole should have been.)

But that's more fitted for the OVI thread - let's not defile Secret Exit's lovely home any more.
*still patiently waiting for a way to get both games - and hopefully any that might come out in the future*

This is a silly question, I know ... but ...

When I re-download will it keep my progress through the game so far?

(I have 52/55)
