Managing C2-01 via your computer

The official software to help connect , manage Nokia C2-01 is OVI Suite which is available here. Connection can be established via a USB cable or bluetooth both were straight forward and easy to set - up.

The homescreen as shown below shows the latest contact, messages, photos and ovi store apps and games (not sure it shows apps and games compatible to nokia c2-01).


The contacts can be edited and synced inside the application or with outlook and thunderbird . The OVI suite didn't have a option to sync to the cloud via computer to ovi.com , i thought it could be a useful add-on. The best thing about the OVI suite is contacts can be easily managed via computer and then synced back to phone. Calendar, notes, tasks everthing can be backed up.
Message, photos can be backed up and copied. I don't use Nokia music store but there are lots of songs available there and it keeps the music library synced between your computer and phone.Some options like OVI maps works in the computer since the Nokia C2-01 doesn't have offline maps it didn't work.
The OVI store app recommendations works only as a shortcut to the actual ovi store on the web viewable through the browser and not the actual ovi suite. And there was no way to backup apps downloaded from the ovi store on to the computer
