Nseries PC Suite 2.0 graduates

nseries_pc_suite_graduates.PNG

After the rocky start last September (the Beta Labs audience was a tough crowd), the Nseries PC Suite team digested your feedback, released a couple of significant updates, and now, it’s time to declare Nokia Nseries PC Suite 2.0 as graduated. Thanks everybody for your feedback, and a hats off to the team for the persistence!!

You can download the final version from Nokia Nseries Support site*. In addition, I understood that the app would be included in the sales package of many new Nokia Nseries devices.

Scoreboard: Graduates 3 - 2 Archive.

* = technically, it’s the same version as we have had at Beta Labs since 23 January.

  1. Does this version contains the ability to sync category-informations beween outlook and the nokia? If not, is this fature planned or what speaks against implementing this feature besides the fact that the internal calender can’t show them?

  7. As usual, the web installer does not connect through a proxy server. If all your software continues to go this way i’ll have no software to install.

    I cant use Nseries PC Suite, Software Updater or MapLoader because none of them will work through a proxy server. Interesting given the fact that Nokia see their future in web services!

  8. I thought we would see some improvements before its graduation, like the ability to explore the phone, or send and receive messages (without having to use the PC Phone plugin) as in the starndard Nokia PC Suite.

  10. Sorry guys, you call this a graduate? The Suite keeps crushing on my system (WinXP, SP2) and I am forced to deinstall it. It just doesnt do the job for me although I like the new interface.

    Pls continue updating it. Imho, it could even look shabbier and offer limited goodys (multimedia sync etc) as long as it works. I am one of those geeks who just need it to sync contact data. Maybe a contact-data-sync stand alone version?

    And yes, *geeks* - as in those who are surfing on beta.nokia (instead of going for the version that comes shipped on CD).

  11. Lacks lots of things compared to standard pc suite. As said here, for example, the ability to explore contacts and messages from the phone explorer or sync with vista calendar. Another one is that with nokia pc suite pictures where automatically sync when you where connected with the pc. Now although you setup the new photos apps to automatically sync, it only do it if you open nokia photos. And also this app, first is as nokia video and audio managers a full bloatware (please copy google picasa) and I don’t talk about functionality, I’m talking about the rocking speed of this app with tons of pictures.
    Nokia photos is a great idea, integrating lifeblog there is nice too, why not integrate there also the ability to send sms from the pc? Why doesn’t nokia photos sync the online profiles from the phone? Why have you removed from the new phones the muvee creator and then added to this app? As you’re now integrating OVI in the devices, and devices get full capabilities, removing these from phones to add them to the desktop bloatwares is an error in your strategy I understand.

    Ok, that’s all for now. Also this message was intended to be sent by mail to the nseries pc suite team, but the send comment button seems to trigger some special mailto: action as when I click it, gmail opens with a message in the body asking to report in english but the to: address field is empty so I don’t know where to report this.

  12. […]Those apps are essentially the Nokia i-Apps. If this is what Ovi will be like, I am all in![…]

  13. Just given up installing Nokia PC Suite on my system (Windows Vista x64) - the installer has been running for over an hour and only the connectivity components have been downloaded and installed. Seems the issue is not the suite itself but that the servers storing the installation files for the suite are running verry verry slowly.

    If Nokia are going to provide only ‘web-installers’ please ensure that the servers upon which the installer relies have the resources to meet even a modest level of service.

  14. @Neil,

    I installed Nokia PC Suite on a new Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 machine just last night. It pulled the latest code in just a few minutes and install was complete in no time at all.

    Sounds like you should look a little closer to home for the problem.

  15. I’ve also been having problems installing with the web installer. I have Vista Home Premium. I left the install running for 2 days before and then eventually it failed. I thought maybe it was a problem with my home network but it installed on my laptop with XP with no problems. It seems to be a problem between Vista machines and Nokia’s servers. Annoyingly it seems no one at Nokia cares to even address the issue…

  16. I´m sick and tired of N Series PC Suite crashes, I´m going back to standard PC Suite… Still don´t understand how is this a graduated app.

  17. I can not get it to sync with vista contacts, couldn’t get standrd PC suite to do it either, any suggestions or does it not work for anybody. Calender syncs fine and most of the other features seem ok

  19. I think you should mention somewhere, that if you are behind a corporate proxy/firewall, that the Nokia Software Updater fetches only MANUAL settings from Internet Explorer proxy settings.
    In other words: If you experiencing cannot connect to network problems, set your Internet Explorer proxy-address manually to overcome these problems.
