When the Nokia Ovi Store launched on Tuesday there was the usual rush to check out what the site looked like, how it worked and most importantly how quickly it downloaded apps. Sure there were teething troubles, Nokia has admitted as much, but what did people think of the launch? We decided to check out what the lively Nokia community had to say...

When Ovi Store launched it was only natural that most users would want to check it out. The mad rush resulted in a rather larger spike of traffic than was expected. Nokia came straight out and said they clearly didn't have enough capacity in place and was sorting it out.

Engadget in its usual tone saw this as a 'gaff' and wondered whether anyone would actually care about going back once it had been resolved. Mobilewhack ran with the same story but gave it a rather more positive spin, commenting that Ovi Store was clearly a success as capacity couldn't keep up with demand. So, depending on whether you see the glass as half full or half empty, you can take consolation in the fact that Ovi Store has now added more server space to handle an sudden demands.

When it came to the first day user experiences, we weren't the only ones checking out the site, as Laptop Mag's blog has a similar experience to us, finding it easy to get around the site but a little frustrated by the number of ringtones and wallpapers that seem to dominate some sections of the site.

One of the aspects of Ovi Store that shouldn't be ignored is the information presented is tied to your phone, so you'll only see the apps appropriate to that handset. That makes gauging the full number of apps on there a little tricky. We've been using our Nokia 5800 but for another take on Ovi Store, check out E71 Fanatics. There seems to be a limited about of content but when it comes to user experience, it seems the guys over there had a fairly smooth ride.

The Symbian Guru, as always, gave a pretty indepth first look at Ovi Store and found the social aspects of the site appealing – the fact you can rate apps and pass them on to friends with ease. However, there were a few reservations, 'TechCrunch is calling the launch of the Ovi Store a disaster. While I likely wouldn’t go that far, it is quite abysmal. Most of these issues should be ironed out by the end of the week, without question.'

Another site trying out the site at early doors was All About Symbian, who found it was easy to get on to the site but found here was trouble logging into the Ovi account – something many people had a problem with but seems to be a great deal easier since.

We're going to leave you with a comment made by the AAS guys, which we feel best sums up Ovi Store at this point:

'Overall content level is low so far, but it's early days, let's give Nokia a week or so to iron out the wrinkles and finish adding in content?'
