-Nokia Maps is a rebranded version of Smart2Go, which also wasn't developed by Nokia but was bought by them.
To have a unified login for these services, you'd have to deal with products made by three independent companies, all using different systems, all intended for different purposes, all developed before Ovi existed. http://www.hongblog.net
Obviously they should eventually unify the logins, that's what they say the point of Ovi is, but you can't just wave a magic wand and have it happen overnight in these circumstances.
It's also worth emphasising that N-Gage, Ovi Share and the latest version of Maps are all still in Beta, so none of them represent finished products.
Quote: Sapporobaby, could you give up the racism please. Apart from being offensive you're factually incorrect.
Incorrect about the Ovi statement maybe as I do not live inside of Nokia headquarters so I would not hear every gem or nugget that drops from the Nokia tree.
racism |ˈrāˌsizəm|
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
?prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief : a program to combat racism.
I think you need to understand the word you want to use before you misuse it again. When you move and live in Finland then you can tell me how I am. Being married to a Finn, living with Finns, working with them day in and day out gives me a pretty good understanding of their temperaments, foibles, and over all character. Do forgive me for not using a disclaimer in my post. I assumed that most had the common sense to realize that statement was aimed at the powers within Nokia and not ALL of Finland. Sorry for assuming you had common sense. I will write disclaimers in the future.
In the meantime, you are cordially to correct me regarding Finnish culture, lifestyle, etc...... Thanks in advance.
Krisse - Rascist is quite a strong word to use, and I think it a little too strong in this instance. I read Sapporobaby's comment as fairly tongue in cheek, kinda like suggesting that English people like to queue or Irish people like thier guiness.
Your explanation about Nokia's challenge to achieve a unified login system made sense, but was a little lost by your OTT initial statment.
Just a thought ...
I was trying to be cheeky and have a bit of fun with the post.
Too bad krisse missed the poster that said he had over 10,000 usernames and passwords. I guess we should talk all of this as serious. Aren't phones and stuff supposed to be fun and stuff?
Keep calm everyone, just a bit of mutual misunderstanding I'm sure. We don't need definitions etc. etc. If we're looking at in the Ovi light this explains why context - at the heart of what Ovi is about (the expression on a face when someone says something) is so important eh!
I do get that its hard to do unified log-in, but I think its something Nokia perhaps could have introduced sooner... at least have xyz@ovi.com user name and passwords work across other services even if legacy ones dont.
