This probably isn't an issue for the UK or European countries but at least in Thailand, forget trying to buy anything on Ovi. Got an E71 and a 5800 XM that are filled with the free stuff but can't even imagine what a Full version of anything is like re your later article on Full vs Lite.

Been exchanging emails with DrJukka, apologizing for using the self signed version of Y-Browser, available at his site, as short of sending him a check, I can't pay for the software I'd prefer to pay for.

Full marks though to those developers who allow billing at their own sites or provide self signed apps for those willing to go that way.
