Ovi Contacts Client (1.5)
Gets Yet Another Minor Update

It’s time for the semi-monthly update of the Nokia Ovi Contacts application (previously known as Nokia Chat).

Kristian Luoma, Product Manager, Ovi Contacts has released the new version of the Ovi contacts client that delivers couple of tweaks to the Ovi Contacts 1.5 client following the feedback from the Beta Labs community.

The new release of Ovi Contacts 1.5 is available for S60 5th Edition products, and it includes the following improvements:

• Pop-up note for incoming chat messages
• Additional file types for file sharing: contact card & presentation

For those who don’t know - Nokia Chat is a Presence and IM client that integrates to your Contacts Application.

It is more than just messaging as it allows you to share your status and your location, giving you physical presence! It’s all about keeping close to people who matter. With Ovi Contacts, you can let your friends know what you are doing and where you are. You can also check your friends' status messages to see what your friends are up to. Ovi Contacts is all about keeping in touch with people who matter.

Contacts on Ovi offers experience very close to what Nokia Chat offered to you - it’s a natural evolution of what Nokia Chat was. Contacts on Ovi application is compatible with all 3rd Ed devices but unfortunately it lacks support for the first touch based S60 phone and the 5tzh edition of the S60 platform!
