The news from Nemo Solutions demonstrated the quiet growth of Ovi Store this year and its ability, as a distribution channel, to reach wide range of geographic markets and handset types.
You can download SMS Preview, for free, from the Ovi Store.
SMS Preview is also available in a 'Pro' version, which adds the ability to take actions (e.g. reply or delete), directly from the preview. The 'Pro' version is also available from the Ovi Store at a cost of £3.
Numo Solutions have a number of other applications under development, including Auto Syc, which will provide a free phone back up solution.
From the press release:
"Working with Nokia has allowed us to reach the mass market with our applications in a truly global fashion in over 170 countries on 50 different types of handsets. The number of downloads we have been able to achieve in such a short time frame can be attributed to the reach that Nokia has, hence Ovi Store is an essential part of our distribution strategy," said Trond Ingebretsen, CEO of Numo. "We are excited to continue developing useful utilities like SMS Preview and bring new applications such as Autosync, a hassle free backup solution, soon to the Ovi Store."
"SMS Preview is a great utility app that more than 1 million Nokia users are enjoying to make more of their devices," said Marco Argenti, VP and Global Head of Media, Nokia. "We look forward to more Numo utility apps inside Ovi Store that will continue to increase the functionality and ultimately value of Nokia devices to our users."
Numo Solutions joins a number of other application and companies in the '1 million Ovi Store club' including Digital Chocolate (games), Shazam, Polarbit (games), Ravensoft (utilities), MMMOOO (themes), Nimbuzz (IM application) and Nokia themselves (Ovi Maps).
