Nokia Ovi Suite Version v3.0.0.248 has officially launched by leaving Beta Labs and is ready to download from your Ovi Suite updater right now. Not only is it faster and easier to use but also comes with a more graphic Homescreen. Read on to find out why you should start using Nokia Ovi Suite v3.0.0.284...

Nokia Ovi Suite v3.0.0.284 slid in to view just before the New Year struck, making it the last official Nokia app to leave Beta Labs in 2010. Weighing in at a reasonable 74MB download, you can get hold of the Nokia Ovi Suite v3.0.0.284 update by clicking on the Software Updater on the toolbar of your current Ovi Suite browser.

Nokia Ovi Suite v3.0.0.284 has been in Beta Labs hands for a few months and the guys over there released a long list of changes we could expect from the new version, including a faster and smoother hookup for your Nokia smartphone, as well as faster transfer rates.

The big visual change is a quicker access to your shared content, while the new icon driven interface allows you to pick from recommended Ovi Store apps, as well as Ovi Music albums. With the later we've noticed that it pretty much ties in with stuff we've already downloaded, so you can tap into artistes you may like.

We found the download and installation of Nokia Ovi Suite v3.0.0.284 to be quick and pain free and once we'd re-booted the laptop it was up and running. There is a noticeable speed pick up and the whole app has a cleaner feel about it, making it an essential update to get 2011 off with a swing.

    Warning to all. I downloaded v3.0.0.248 in December on instructions of Nokia Support. When I synced with Microsoft Outlook 2007 my 2580 Contacts was cut to 324 purely by the sync. Fortunately I managed to recover them from the Deleted Items bin.

    However, the Calendar was totally screwed. Birthdays appeared on adjacent days. Christmas Day became a UK Summer Bank Holiday.

    Since then I have painfully manually updated everything and reverted to PC Suite 7.1.30.9 as later versions don’t support the N8. This works fine.

    A support call from Nokia Finland to me in the UK suggested that I patched Outlook but when I tried it I was already at the required level. Back to square one.

    Make sure you can recover from a backup if you try out the latest version of Ovi Suite.
