If you’re using the Nokia Ovi Guide, you should know that their versions for Symbian S60 5th Edition and Symbian S60 3rd Edition FP2 have just been updated. One of the new features of Contacts for the platforms mentioned Ovi is the transfer of files – which allows users to send and receive files larger than before. Nokia has also introduced improvements in compression, so that consumer data should be “60% less than it was with the previous version.”

Improved user experience are also included. For example, the Contacts tab now has three shortcut buttons: see the profile of a friend (o), add friends, and start chatting.

The new client Ovi Contacts can be downloaded here – is obviously free.

To download the older version, visit http://contacts.ovi.com/dist/app in your phone’s browser.

Google and Best Buy have announced a new partnership that will make Google Mobile App available in Best Buy Mobile stores across the US. In consequence, users who have a Windows Mobile, BlackBerry or Symbian S60 smartphone can visit a Best Buy store and “get some help installing the app or to see a live demo of what the application can do.”

Also, if you’re buying a new phone at Best Buy, Google Mobile App can be installed as part of the Walk Out Working program.

“We are excited to offer users a new and more personalized way of getting Google on their smartphones. While Google Mobile App is available as a free download from m.google.com, often times users run into problems because they don’t have the right handset or data plan,” declared Marc Vanlerberghe, Director of Marketing at Google.

Google Mobile App includes features like My Location and search by voice, and at the same time provides quick access to Gmail, Google Maps, Google Search and so on.
