Nokia OVI

Are you using your Mobile phone just for the communication with your contacts? Do you want to do more with it useful? Well, Nokia gives an option to use your “NOKIA” mobile device more useful - as an Appointment manager, Birthday reminder, Notes manager and Contacts Database with more detail information such as address, website and others.

I heard your voice – almost every mobile phone around us is having all these facilities – what is the special with Nokia..!!

The common problem with all other phones: Mobile Keypad. Typing content in small mobile keypad is a painful thing – so many of us never use it for detail content typing. We use it for quick small data typing only. Now the Solution: How about using your computer for data entry – that too in a web site – so, no junky download required.

Visit Nokia OVI website (www.ovi.com), register yourself with you mobile information. Now you can create and manage contacts database, Appointments and reminders, also notes for quick information reference. If you have GPRS enabled Nokia mobile device – Go to “Settings”-> “Sync-backup” –> “server Sync” and select your required options – Notes, Contacts, Calendar. The next step will connect with remote OVI site – with your username and password – to sync up whatever you created in remote website. Your Mobile device is fully loaded with required information now. You can use it as an Appointment / Birthday manager, Quick notes manager also a detail contacts manager.

Hope this will help everyone to use their simple mobile device just like any other costly mobile sets.

Why spend in costly mobile devices – go to Nokia simple devices less then Rs. 10,000 and use it as your best content manager.
