Nokia opens Canadian app store


TORONTO – Nokia’s Ovi Store is open for business in Canada.

Touting itself as the easiest way to find content for Nokia’s devices, the Ovi Store allows Canadians to download and personalize their Nokia mobile device with a range of free and paid apps, games, themes and ringtones with content that supports more than 30 languages.

Thanks to integrated billing with Bell, Rogers and Telus, the cost of purchased apps will appear on a customers’ wireless provider bill.

“We are proud to be one of the first manufacturers and Nokia offices in the world to offer integrated billing with all major carriers,” said Richard White, GM of Nokia Canada, in the announcement. "Whether it’s for work or for play, Ovi Store allows customers to further personalize their mobile device by easily downloading the content and apps that are important to them.”
