Yea, the more I play with this, the more I wonder WTF?

Nokia, listen up! There are many app stores that you can use as a thought starter, so
- Where the hell are decent screenshots?
- Where the hell are the reviews?
- Where are the decent free apps?
- Why do I now have to PAY for apps that were FREE yesterday on the internet?

It looks like some dude at Nokia woke up 24h ago, and said, Frack! We’re supposed to launch Ovi tomorrow. And then proceeded to quickly write the app in under a day. For the company that sells nearly 40% of the world’s phones, I expected a heck of a lot more!

Right now it looks just like the sadness that was Download! with a nicer interface. Sigh. Still no internet radio for S60 5th, fail.

1) So there is an S40 version as well? Can anyone explain to me why S40 is not considered a smart phone OS? It has full email, maps with navigation, a browser, HSDPA, CIF video conferencing, the ability to develop apps for and install them. As far as I can tell, all that is missing is multitasking.

2) Took a look at OVI earlier today and installed it on my E51. Not too many apps yet, but it is promising.
