Ovi Store For Nokia N900 Not Open Yet But Maemo Community Finds a Way In
Nokia is still running internal tests on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N900 before it opens for the public, but that doesn’t stop the Maemo community from finding a way to gain access. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I followed the instructions to install some of the apps on my Nokia N900.
If you click on the Ovi Store icon from the Nokia N900′s menu, it’ll probably open the browser telling you it’s coming soon. We’re not sure exactly when. I am not going to write a guide how to do it because you might blame me for breaking your expensive device. I highly suggest waiting for the official grand opening, but read this thread to see how others have done it without waiting.
So far, I’ve installed Solitaire, an Ebook, and Cube. Take a look below.

There’s not that many apps available for the Nokia N900 yet, but it’s still early. I hope that the Ovi Store brings in more apps from developers. I’d really like to see Shazam, Foursquare, Pandora, and Joikuspot in there!

N900 would be perfect if it would recogise external devices, like a digital camera, as external drives and allow you to copy files, ie photos, to the N900

that actually sounds like a good idea

The Facebook connection isn't working yet, so how do I register? I don't want to create yet another identity that I will forget the details for in a few weks.
Is the OviStore for the N900 up and running yet? I'm frustrated and annoyed that the N900 doesn't support MMS!!! As far as I am concerned, for a modern, high spec handset, with a camera, the omission of support for MMS makes it 'UNFIT FOR PURPOSE'!
I'm told that there is an App (FMMS?) on OviStore that will enable images to be sent from my N900 to other mobiles, but I haven't yet found anyone who hs yet downloaded it successfully and I can't find it.
