Nokia Ovi Suite sucks!!!


It was a bull shit week with Ovi Suite where i lost almost 32 contacts from my mobile for no reason. I was carried away by the look and feel of Ovi suite - however, the basic functionality was awful. It did not sync up well.

* I couldnt find an option that would help me pick a direction to sync. Dont know if it is available with any sync app. But i would love to have it. I always wanted to sync up from my mobile to the app (MOBILE >> OVI). I would only go to the other direction when i find a contact missing in my mobile. Then, i would expect an option to 'pick and copy' only selective contacts to my mobile.
* There is no facility to view a 'diff' of contacts on my mobile vs the one that is already in Ovi.
* I dont even understand the philosophy behind the 'default' behavior of syncing. What is the design you think you understood, NOKIA?

* WORST is the online sync, which spoiled the most. It took only the names from the contacts and dropped the numbers. And when i found online that not all the contacts are synced (and actually missed to notice that it had no numbers but only names for that it actually copied), i did a second try and that brought everything down from online ovi (which only had names) to my phone and i hence lost most of the contacts. Now my mobile has just names. What am i supposed to do with it?

Does NOKIA really care? To me, Nokia PC Suite is far far far better than OVI. Please stop marketing Ovi. It sucks!!!
