The Ovi Store now has over 50,000 apps for Symbian smartphone users. More than 6.5 million apps are downloaded daily from the Ovi Store. However, the app count is still much lower than the Apple App Store’s 425,000 apps and Android Market’s 250,000 apps.

Nokia recently launched the operator billing service for its Ovi Store in partnership with Reliance Communications in India. Nokia users can now easily pay for the paid apps from their Reliance number.

The Nokia Ovi Store gets a small update, mostly subtle changes including search auto-correct and added language support.
