Why is there no single login for all of my Nokia Web Services?
As an informed consumer and a gadget lover, I was definitely happy when I got my Nokia N82 in January. It is a powerful device: 5MP Camera, GPS, Wifi and 3G and N-Gage compatibility made it the device that I needed.
As I continue to learn more and more about my phones many abilities, one thing does baffle me: why is there no single login for all of my Nokia Services. I have signed up for Share on Ovi, N-Gage,Nokia Sports Tracker and Mosh and I have to remember every login for each of my Nokia Services. If the hardware device is supposed to unify my end-user experience by giving me all of these great features, why am I encumbered on the software end because I have to remember logins for multiple services.
For each of these services, all of my login information is stored on my phone. I can easily login from the N-Gage client with a few key presses and the same goes for Ovi and Sports Tracker and Mosh. The agony comes when I am on my PC and I need to venture into Ovi, for example. I understand that each service is different but if Nokia is building communities around each of these services, why can’t they intersect for the users who use them all (or use more than one) and why can’t a user login with ONE username and password for all of these services.
I am JadedMoon on Ovi, jadedmoonstudios on Mosh, jadedmoonstudios on Sports Tracker and JadedMoon on N-Gage. With one single login, I could just be me on all of my favourite (yes, european spelling) Nokia Web Services.
