Nseries PC Suite 2.0 graduates

Wed, 2008-03-12 13:27

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.

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.

Congratulations to the development team for their effort and here's to seeing Nseries PC Suite 3.0 ;)

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

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?

Great news. :D Another one out the door ;)

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

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.

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!

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).

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.

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.

@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.

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...

PLEASE NOKIA - DOn't GRADUATE stuff if you don't include some minimal - Like the ability to do updates via PROXY - it's not difficult others have done it !!!!!!!!!!!
There's even a ( yupi !!) Documented Microsoft Function - InternetProxySettings - SO JUST DO IT

If your future is with web services - this is a minimal.
I can now understand why my compay kept WinMobile devices - They work with these minimals AT LEAST !!!!!!!!

I'm using nokia pc suite6.8 so i can tell what is good n what is bad in it..
Good things r:
good internet access,
file manager,
synchronizer,
message viewer,
easy phone access/handling through pc like sending msg and installing softwares.

Bad ones r:
no inbuilt photo manager,
no calling from pc,
user doesn't hav complete manual control as less options in user interface,
do not support x64/vista completely,
primitive multimedia viewer,
music manager supports limited formats with lower n simple parameters,
no music and video editor which is necessary for multimedia phone models.
Thats all and it is only what i think about it. If i install new pc suite then it must solve its bad aspects without compromising a single good feature.

Can't install because of proxy connection.
Nokia sucks.

The Nokia N-Series PC Suite is a verry bad exaple for the new software Nokia is using...

Back to the old PC Suite who is working great...

Good job man ... and oh yea... YOUR FIRED!!!

Wow.. Great feedbacks no matter 9 out of 10 r negative. I was just thinking of installing new nokia pc suite but it seems it is not a right decision at least right now. Nokia pc suite 6.8 is best till now bcoz it works good with most of nokia phone models. Crowd is expecting new suite which is faster smooth n attractive but still has features more than or atleast same as standard pc suite 6.8. If nokia team could do dat only then it is worth of launching new pc suite. So we'll wait eagerly for the Next Level Evolution of Nokia pc suite. All the best to Nokia team. Hope hear from u soon.

I've been using NNPC for some time and it did crash in the beginning, but after rebooting and downloading it worked until recently all of a sudden Nokia Photo's didn't transfer automatically my photo's to the PC. So I posted a query separately, only by manually clicking on the Timeline menu: update Timeline it started working again, is this temporarily or a glitch in the NOkia Photo update software?

While on the same support page reading that a new PC Suite version 7.1 was available, I downloaded only realizing afterward that I have both programs. Will upgraded PC Suite also handle NOkia Photo's?

Your comments and/or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
