Can't they get anything right with Ovi?

I tried the cheapest, assuming it would be the same thing as with paid applications... you can pay if you're nice, but you could also get them for free if you wanted. I chose to pay.

Request a refund.
My intention is to warn other potential victims here.

This gives a totally new meaning to "OVI is the future".

They are all in German, so I assume this is a local thing that affects only people in Germany/Austria/Switzerland.
I tried the cheapest, assuming it would be the same thing as with paid applications... you can pay if you're nice, but you could also get them for free if you wanted. I chose to pay.
This time, it's the other way round: You pay, but can't play. What you get is a file with the file extension '*.dm", so I assume it's digitally restricted. Of course, my N900 doesn't know what to do with it and can't play it.
I'm very pleased that Nokia chose to offer me these files even though they know they don't work on the N900.
Can't they get anything right with Ovi?
