Bill from Forum Nokia has shared some statistics about the OVI Store from its launch 5 months ago.
- Available on over 100 different Nokia devices (60+ Symbian S60 devices)
- Active users from over 180 countries
- Developers from 65 countries are distributing content
- 8 countries today have local content, local language support and mobile billing: UK, Spain, France, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Italy, Russia. By the end of Q1 2010 there will be more than 20 countries.
- Top 10 Ovi Store Markets by performance in alphabetic order: Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Russia & UK
- In almost all of the top 10 Ovi Store countries, 5800 XpressMusic and N97 are the #1 and #2 devices for Ovi Store activity and consumer engagement
- Redownload now available and search is much improved, more details (http://tinyurl.com/yf9tmbd)
- Ovi Store will ship embedded on most new compatible Nokia devices including Symbian S60 and Series 40 from Q4 2009
- On average, each registered user has downloaded at least 8 items from Ovi Store
- In October, the number of content items downloaded was over 70% higher than in Sept.
It would be great to know total app downloads.

“In October, the number of content items downloaded was over 70% higher than in Sept.”
70% of what base number? Why Nokia has to rely on tricks like this to make something look interesting when clearly has been an abysmal failure?
Ciao Emanuele,
I think it would be good for Nokia to shared all statistics for the OVI Store so that they can have feedback from both users and developers and have the opportunity to fix problems.
