Stats reveal growth of the company's app store.
Nokia has announced that its Ovi Store is now generating 1.5 million downloads a day - a figure which presumably includes wallpapers and ringtones as well as applications.
The average registered user has downloaded 12 apps since the store's launch last May.
Impressive? Well, according to AdMob's most recent metrics report, iPhone and Android users are downloading nine apps a month on average.
More stats from Nokia: Ovi Store now works on more than 100 handsets, more than 60 of which are Symbian smartphones. And new user registrations doubled in February compared to January.
Meanwhile, new registered users AND downloads were both up more than 100% between January and February.

Plus, the store is currently seeing 22 downloads per second, with daily highs of 1,300 downloads a minute. That compares to figures given by Nokia's Niklas Savander at Mobile World Congress of 15 downloads per second and highs of 1,000 downloads a minute.
The company also says its top ten countries in terms of downloads are - sorted alphabetically rather than by number of downloads - France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UK and Vietnam.
An intriguing mix of big Western countries and emerging markets. Ovi Store is regularly compared disparagingly to iPhone's App Store, but its value to app developers could be about its popularity in countries where iPhone isn't hugely popular.
