Nokia are looking to find out what you think about the Share on Ovi service, and are offering five people who take their survey a share of 1000 euros (that's 200 Euros each). You can take the survey here. It should take around ten minutes. And even if you don't win, you will have helped the service.
Read on in the full article.
Looks like Nokia chose their survey company well. Trying to enter my country results in "There was a problem submitting your responses. Please try again".
The Ovi what?
it was going well and after answering all the questions, it asked me
"Finally, a few short questions about your attitudes towards mobile phones in general..."
when I clicked next a empty page appears with GfK NOP header and footer.
I was foolish enough to start this thing, wrote what I thought, and then when it came to the page where there is a bigger flash thing it simply got stuck there, saying "Loading"... Tried to refresh, and go back few times but same thing.
But I'll write here few words about Ovi Share:
On my Nokia N95 8GB it is not possible to upload a photo unless the previous upload has finished. To wait to upload photos one by one is unacceptable in my opinion.
Another important thing is that websites I use for picture and video sharing (primarily Facebook, Picasa, Youtube) are not available as service in Ovi Share at all.
It is all very simple - All my friends use Facebook and can access Flickr and Youtube, and some have Picasa, whereas no one I know has Ovi share.
Ovi share is only for Nokia smartphones, whereas above mentioned sites are independent of a device being used, and for that reason alone Nokia can not expect Ovi Share (except as a program/service that uploads photos and videos to popular destinations) to become popular enough for mass use.

From version 4.0 ShareOnline has the outbox. It's still lets you pick just 6 objects at a time but now you can queue uploads in the background. Only for FP2 and 5th ed though 😞
The worst thing for me in Ovi Share is the latest design. It's just horrible 😞 Managing media is now a real chore. Old one was so much better . I have no idea what they were thinking :/
I wish they would just kill it. Right now, Ovi Share is what stands in the way of Nokia providing Share Online support for popular sites like Facebook, YouTube, Picasa, Photobucket, etc. (like Samsung's Communities software offers out-of-the-box on the i8910).
I wish Nokia was capable to develop its own services while supporting third-party ones, but since they've adopted the Microsoft-like (and Apple-like) policy of making every competing product harder to use, I just want Ovi Share to die.
I find that adding PixelPipe to Nokia Share Online solves all upload to multiple networks problems. Everyone should give it a try. Visit PixelPipe's site for even more options.
Phew! Over.....finally.....

Hey, I have been using Pixelpipe regularly. I started getting this message since yesterday" one or more media items are discarded because service provider does not support them"
Which is kinda strange because I have not changed any settings configured, the same ones which used to upload my pics earlier 😞
Any tips??
