About creating a Nokia account
When you have a Nokia account, you can access a wide range of Ovi services, such as the following:
-
Get where you want to go with Nokia Maps.
-
Get new applications and content for your mobile device from your local Ovi Store.
-
Keep your contacts and calendar safe, up to date, and backed up.
-
Access a free email account that you can use from your device and on the internet.
For more information on Ovi services, see http://www.ovi.com.
For more information on practices relating to the use of your personal data, see the Ovi service terms and privacy policy. To read these, select Tools > Options and go to the Nokia account tab.
You can create a Nokia account when you first connect your mobile device to the computer.
Tip:
Creating a Nokia account when first connecting your device to the computer is optional. You can also create an account any time later. To do so, start by clicking Sign in in the Nokia Ovi Suite top navigation bar. Note that you need to have an active internet connection when you create a Nokia account or sign in to your account.
When creating a Nokia account, note the following:
-
Select your location from the drop-down list of countries. Then you can see local music and application recommendations from your local Ovi Store in the Home view of Nokia Ovi Suite. If you want to check and possibly change the location information later, select Tools > Options and go to the Nokia account tab.
-
You are asked to enter your date of birth. This is because if an underage child wants to create a Nokia account, the child’s parent needs to give their parental consent for the account creation. Your date of birth is not used for any other purpose or redistributed to any third parties.
-
Your user name for the Nokia account you create is used as your Ovi Mail email address. A free email address is reserved for your use automatically when you create a Nokia account. You can use Ovi Mail from your device and on the internet.
-
You will receive tips and offers by email and mobile messaging. If you want to unsubscribe from these later, change your device settings or your Nokia account profile in ovi.com.
Tip:
To view your Nokia account information when you are signed in, click the arrow next to your Nokia account user name in the Nokia Ovi Suite top navigation bar and select My account details. This opens the Nokia account web page in a new browser window where you can view and modify, for example, your contact information. To modify your account options, for example to change your password, select the Account options link. This opens the Nokia account tab in Nokia Ovi Suite options.
