Ovi Store gets renamed to Nokia store, built using Qt Quick

Nokia announced back in May that they will be renaming their Ovi services such as the Ovi Store to Nokia Store. The process was supposed to happen later in 2012 and it finally has. The Ovi Store is now officially known as the Nokia Store.

But the name is not the only thing that’s changed. There is a whole new app for it as well. The new app uses a redesigned interface and is built using Qt Quick. The app was originally designed for the Nokia N9 but has now been ported over to Symbian as well.

The new store app brings faster UI transitions and smoother animations. Also, if you’re already logged into your Nokia account, it no longer asks you for your password every time you download an app.

The new Nokia Store app will soon be pushed to Symbian phones as an OTA update. You can also head over to Nokia Labs and download the beta version right now.

WP Nokia 800 Sun official photos surface, N9 meets its long-lost twin

Just over two weeks before Nokia World kicks off and the Finnish company unveils its first WP smartphones, we got official photos of one of them. Promo materials of Nokia 800, which was previously rumored as Lumia just popped up, confirming that it will be one of the Nokia smartphones to appear at the event.

As you can see, the Nokia 800 body is almost identical to that of the Nokia N9.

The new leak nicely aligns with previous rumors, so there's every reason to believe that its real. The ads suggest that this will be the Nokia Sun, which as we previously heard will be the marketing name of the Nokia Sea Ray. And, if your memory serves you well, you'd know that the Sea Ray was supposed to be an N9-lookalike.

Specs-wise the Nokia Sun will reportedly offer a 3.7" WVGA AMOLED, Windows Phone Mango, a 1.4GHz CPU and 16GB of onboard storage. The smartphone should hit the shelves in the first half of November.

Is this enough to convince you to switch to a WP-running Nokia? Or are you hoping to see something even more impressive at Nokia World?
