SAVE Downloads From OVI Store / NOKIA Phone Tricks

I know that some users asked where downloaded files from Ovi Store are saved but
The answer is that the files are deleted after installation, regardless if it was successful,
unsuccessful or aborted

BUT

the files must be saved on the phone to get installed, thus i tried a trick and this one is
working ;) 


1. Turn off your phone
2. Turn it on and close all applications
3. Open a filemanager (any will do)
4. Browse to E:\
5. Open Ovi Store and select the application you
want 
6. From now BE QUICK!!! 
7. Download the selected application
8. Immediately after touching 'DOWNLOAD' open
the taskmanager (any will do) and switch to the
filemanager
9. Open the folder 'Installs'
10. Copy the file to somewhere else 
11. Done 

Normally the phone asks you if you want to install the application so you have enough time to copy that file but sometimes the application is installed without authorization. If this happens just deinstall and download it again. If you never find files in E:\Installs you should check your settings in Ovi Store. Open it and select 'Options', scroll down to "Account" and select 'Settings', then select 'Installation Settings'. Now you can see (and change) where the downloads are temporarily saved. Change the drive or use the shown one instead of E: mentioned in the guide above.
