For anyone who's digging the new Nokia Ovi Suite all-in-one system and who wants to both to live on the bleeding edge and have a say in how Ovi Suite develops, note that v2.1 has been opened up to public beta testing. There are some links and change notes below to help you make up your mind...(!)

You can download Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1 Beta here (sign in needed) and there's an overview page, as well as “known issues” and a FAQ for more information.

Ovi Suite 2.1 now includes a way to send feedback directly to the Ovi Suite team, which is pretty neat. The biggest new functions in v2.1 (over v2.0) are:

• support for syncing contacts with ovi.com, so now you can easily keep your contacts safe in ovi.com
• support for syncing videos from device to Nokia Ovi Suite, video playback and transferring videos from Nokia Ovi Suite to device
• updating device applications (as in device's “Software update” application)
• Windows 7 support
• support for syncing contacts with Mozilla Thunderbird
• new languages (Hindi, American English and Ukrainian)
• extended device support
• performance improvements
• improving overall product quality and stability

Ovi Suite 2.1 requires a PC and Windows, obviously. However, for Mac owners, the Nokia Beta Labs team say "About Nokia Ovi Suite for Mac, I can say that we're working on it and Nokia Beta Labs folks will be the first ones to try it."
