If we find that a review includes illegal, offensive, or unrelated material, we will remove the review. This type of material includes:
• Sexually descriptive or suggestive material.
• Swearing, vulgarisms and profanities (if not in the context of a song, video, or movie title).
• Ethnic propaganda or other offensive material which attacks or demeans a group or an individual.
• Political propaganda.
• Poor language (misspelling) if consumers would have difficulty understanding the text.
• Randomly written text and spam.
• Personal contact information, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal codes or any piece of information that would make a person locatable to their exact address. Exceptions are Nokia Publisher contact email addresses.
• Posts pretending to be someone famous for the purpose of ridiculing him or her, or sending potentially libelous material.
• Material that is deemed to be malicious or have malicious intent or to be excessively abusive towards an individual, company, organization, product or a trademark.
• Material that clearly has an advertising or promotional purpose, or overtly promotes other companies or their products.
• Name-calling, threats, insults, or any ‘bullying’ material which is purely, or for the most part, meant as a nasty insult to someone, stated with malicious intent, or threatening someone.
• Overtly distressing content.
• Links to web pages that contain inappropriate or illegal material, or links leading consumers to an external content storefront.
• Material admitting to, approving of, encouraging, or explaining how to perform an illegal activity such as drug taking, shoplifting, or physical abuse.
• Material promoting unsafe or harmful behaviour, such as using products improperly or engaging in illegal or harmful activity.
• Material that could affect the outcome of an approaching or ongoing court case, whether criminal or civil.
• Libel and defamation. Anything which, if untrue, would be capable of ‘lowering someone in the estimation of right-thinking members of society’.
• Unrelated material deemed to be out-of-context and irrelevant.

Examples of illegal material that violates the laws where the content is distributed include:

• Any material containing a comment that may be derogatory to members of a particular race, nationality, sex, sexual orientation or religion.
• Material that may incite hatred of particular groups.
• Child grooming and exploitation.

Please also remember that if you need support, do not ask for it in a review. If you need help with:

As Nokia Store evolves, so does the technology that drives it.  Applications are now being written in Qt programming language which makes it easier for developers
to write content for multiple platforms.  As a result, your phone may need to download additional files in order to run the Qt application.
Nokia does not charge any fees to download the necessary files required to run the application.

Please be aware that data charges with your operator may apply. Check that with your operator or use a WLAN (Wi-Fi) connection if available.
 

Usually it means that the application is still installed on your device although you thought you have already removed it.
For example if the application is installed to memory card and you reset the device, the application won’t be deleted.

Also note that some applications may install multiple binaries and you may need to uninstall all of them before application can be re-downloaded.
 
Please use the Application manager for uninstalling applications. Application manager can be usually found from Menu -> Settings but please refer to user guide for more details.
From Application manager select Installed applications, choose the application you want to remove and select Options -> Uninstall (or longpress the application name and select Uninstall).
In case of application which has installed multiple binaries ( for example Nokia Maps ODML, Nokia Maps Engine, etc) , uninstall all binaries one by one.

If necessary, reboot your device after the uninstallation and try re-downloading the application from Nokia Store.

Nokia Store is available in almost every country in the world, with following exceptions: Iran, Syria, Sudan, The People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), The People's Republic of Congo, Côte-d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Cuba.

Nokia Music Player, when installing, sometimes defaults to a different Nokia Music Store than the one selected.  Instead the installer selects the regional settings from the Operating System and sets the Nokia Music Store to that country.  If this is the case, manually select the store of the country you wish to log in to.

At first, please, try to go to Edit > Options > Change Music Store location

 For Windows XP, Vista Business/Enterprise and Windows 7 users:

• Start/Orb > Run
• Copy the URI into the run box and then Enter.
• Ovi Music Player should launch (or activate, if it’s already running).
• Wait a few seconds and you should find the Ovi Player now directs to the correct store and, on restart, your homepage will be that store.
• If you see 'No internet connection...' message, click on the Home button and wait for the new page to load.
• Even after doing this, you are not able to access the LIVE store, *delete the MDataStore.db3 file and start Ovi Music Player again.
• On the start-up screen, select correct country location

*The MDataStore.db3 file is also used by Ovi Suite to store user data, such as: SMS, calendar entries and contact information.  Therefore, users of Ovi Suite are advised to backup any user data before removing the .db3 file.
 

For Vista Home users:

• Press Windows key + r on your keyboard to open the run command. 
• Enter: start oviplayer://musicplayer/?setTerritory=en-GB
• Ovi Music Player should launch (or activate, if it’s already running).
• Wait a few seconds and you should find the Ovi Player now directs to the correct store and, on restart, your homepage will be that store.
• If you see 'No internet connection...' message, click on the Home button and wait for the new page to load.
• Even after doing this, you are not able to access the LIVE store, *delete the MDataStore.db3 file and start Ovi Music Player again.

No. Although there may be some audio files available at Nokia Store, please visit Nokia Music Store at http://music.nokia.com for music.

The Nokia Music Player will only allow users to access the music store which was chosen during installation. If an incorrect store was chosen at this point then the user will not be able to access their 'home' store. The possible scenario is:

Close Nokia Music Player and *delete the MDataStore.db3 file:

*The MDataStore.db3 file is also used by Nokia Suite to store user data, such as: SMS, calendar entries and contact information. Therefore, users of Nokia Suite are advised to backup any user data before removing the .db3 file.

• Vista and 7 C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
• XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3

Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to: Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders

Once Nokia Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder and music discovery will commence once again. This will need to be performed if users require to switch store country locations.

The S60 (Symbian series 60) Download Manager has a limitation to allow only 6 simultaneous downloads in the queue, this is the root cause of the problem. This issue is evident on all handsets with the S60 platform. If this situation occurs, the only solution is to reboot the device and try to access the store again selecting fewer downloads at any one time.
