'Extraordinarily' high spikes in traffic to blame for turbulent opening day performance.
Nokia has posted an apology for the erratic availability of its newly-launched Ovi Store today (as already noted by the ME team).
In a post on the official Ovi blog a Nokia staffer called Eric John writes: "Shortly after launching the Ovi Store at 2 am ET, we began experiencing extraordinarily high spikes of traffic that resulted in some performance issues for users accessing store.ovi.com and store.ovi.mobi.
"We immediately began to address this issue by adding servers, which resulted in intermittent performance improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Ovi Store users and encourage you to continue giving us feedback as we develop the service further."
He goes on to say that there are no reported problems with the Ovi Store on-device client, though our experience this morning differs with that assessment.
