Contacts on Ovi goes live

ESPOO, Finland – There’s no stopping the folks over at Beta Labs, today sees the launch of Contacts on Ovi, the latest app to plug into the Ovi framework. Designed to keep people close, Contacts on Ovi is the place on your phone where you can easily find your friends, see where they are and what they’re up to.

Similar to Nokia Chat, the app provides a range of enhanced features kicking off with the basic ability to chat via IM, and see whether your friends are available or otherwise engaged. You can also broadcast details about yourself including what you’re listing to and “important scenes” though we’re not certain yet what the last one is.

We’re in the midst of downloading it now to try it out, so do the same and let us (and BetaLabs) know what you think.
