All, My name is Eric. I work on the Ovi Store team. I want to thank Balu for his post and for everyone's feedback here. These comments really do help! The Ovi Store service is still young, still evolving and the team is working hard to make it better. In terms of the problematic banner with the malformed URL mentioned in this article, the Ovi Store marketing team is locating the banner and it is being pulled. If you have other concerns about Ovi Store, please note you can always submit the issue to Ovi Store support at <https://www.ovi.com/services/support/subpage?id...> Again, thanks for your input and interest in the Store. Best – Eric
