E71 New Phone and Ovi
I have a new nokia E71 for my birthday from my ever-loving wife and it is great. Will post more later about things I'm going to put on it. For now I'm signing up for 'Ovi' from nokia, http://www.ovi.com. I wanted something to sync up file from my PC and phone.
I've signed up to a phone account and got some desktop software installed on the PC. I'll try it out over the next couple of days and report back here on how I get on.

Ovi has been a little hit and miss for me. The one thing that I definitely like is the note sync. I have been looking for something that would let me edit text files both on the phone and on a normal size computer. While my dream solution is
mercurial running on my phone, Ovi note sync is a reasonable start. You simply type the note on the phone, click the sync button from the tools menu and the whole thing appears on the Ovi web site. On the web site you can edit the text online, in a disappointingly small edit window however. This will do me for now.
Here's a test for ovi.com. I've come across what looks like a size limit in the notes edit component on the web site. I've posted a bug report to the contact us form. Let's see how well they respond.
It has been more than a week now and I've had nothing back from Ovi support other than an automated acknowledgement. I'll try the forums and see if I get on any better.
Turns out the Ovi forums are currently closed, not to mention really difficult to navigate on the E71's web browser.
I wait in hope of the Ovi support people to get back to me.
Hmm...still no response from Ovi. Apparently the Nokia discussion forums will be able to take new accounts from 30 Sep.
I've been allowed access to join the Nokia support Forums and have posted the query there.
