$5 is cheaper than what I paid for Ngage games for my N82, count me in!

Oh, sorry, installing from ovi doesn't work this way anymore. The guys at Nokia seem to have crippled apt a bit.

Create a "earthcomber.install" file and open it with the file manager.

Code:
[install]
catalogues = nokia-ovi-store
package   = earthcomber 

[nokia-ovi-store]
id = ovi
file=variant-catalogues
This should launch the package manager and install Earthcomber.

A more convenient approach:

Save the following script to file "oviinstall.sh"

Code:
#! /bin/sh

INSTALL_FILE=/tmp/application.install
PACKAGE_LIST=/var/lib/apt/lists/downloads.maemo.nokia.com_fremantle1.2_ovi_._Packages  
PACKAGE=$1


echo "[install]"                         >${INSTALL_FILE}
echo "catalogues = nokia-ovi-store"     >>${INSTALL_FILE}
echo "package = ${PACKAGE}"             >>${INSTALL_FILE}
echo ""                                      >>${INSTALL_FILE} 

echo "[nokia-ovi-store]"                >>${INSTALL_FILE}
echo "id = ovi"                         >>${INSTALL_FILE}
echo "file = variant-catalogues"        >>${INSTALL_FILE}


dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest='com.nokia.hildon_application_manager' /com/nokia/hildon_application_manager  com.nokia.hildon_application_manager.mime_open string:"${INSTALL_FILE}"

Execute it:

Code:
sh oviinstall.sh earthcomber
That will (hopefully) launch the package manager and install the package.

To list all avaliable (free) pacakges in the OVI repository type:

Code:
grep "Package: " /var/lib/apt/lists/downloads.maemo.nokia.com_fremantle1.2_ovi_._Packages

Unless Zeus has gotten into the boutique software business, you're going to be very disappointed.

it's down even in pc form (at least for me), so it might not even be n900 related. but well, let's hope
