All these years with Sony Ericsson I never used Sony Ericsson’s own PC Suite and used the excellent and FREE MyPhoneExplorer . But changing to Nokia 5530 I didn’t have a 3rd free alternative to go to so I decided to go with OVI Suite rather than Nokia PC Suite. Installation was pretty straight forward and quick. And I tried connecting my phone with Bluetooth and all went without a hassle.
The phonebook migration was a hassle with the exported data from MyPhone Explorer not able to be recognized by OVI Suite. But by using Microsoft Outlook I was able to get it done. Usually I edit contacts in my SE phone and then sync it to computer but in my 5530 I do all the editing stuff and creating contact groups in my laptop and sync it to my phone which I find more easier.
Syncing photos, music , message all are pretty easy and straight forward. But the given music player didn’t have the capability to do any Tag editting might be the Nokia OVI player app helps in that matter (But I haven’t tried that yet). I also haven’t tried using the online OVI contacts, calendar sync service and so I am not sure how far it works with the OVI Suite.
But updating Nokia 5530 firmware to V11 through OVI suite was a breeze and the process went without any Hiccups….
To conclude, pretty good app somewhat bloated but easy to use via bluetooth / usb cable but could have had features like a OVI store client inside and a better way to archive sms in the pc etc.
