The list of phones supported stretches back a few years &#8211; the oldest supported device is the 6555, a barebones S40 flip from over two years ago. According to their press release, customers looking to get set up need only follow a few steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step one:<\/strong> go to store.ovi.com from your Nokia device from AT&#038;T<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step two:<\/strong> once at store.ovi.com you will be prompted to download the Ovi Store application<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step three:<\/strong> enjoy great content and applications for your Nokia device with AT&#038;T.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apart from breathing new life into some otherwise basic phones, the biggest deal about Ovi&#8217;s AT&#038;T debut is its support for carrier billing, which makes impulse buying apps and themes easier than ever. Instead of having to whip out a credit card for purchases, charges show up directly on the bill, which in a sense is a win-win situation: customers get instant gratification and the companies involved pick up some extra, if sometimes unintended revenue.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Crunch Network<\/em><\/strong>:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchboard.com\">CrunchBoard<\/a><em> <\/em>because it&#8217;s time for you to find a new Job2.0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7TmXcc8PhgBBjjFi-hWxUWgMkhQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7TmXcc8PhgBBjjFi-hWxUWgMkhQ\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7TmXcc8PhgBBjjFi-hWxUWgMkhQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7TmXcc8PhgBBjjFi-hWxUWgMkhQ\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=B0Pypl616ek:YNbnseq9zjw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=B0Pypl616ek:YNbnseq9zjw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=B0Pypl616ek:YNbnseq9zjw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=B0Pypl616ek:YNbnseq9zjw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=B0Pypl616ek:YNbnseq9zjw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re an AT&#038;T customer and you have a Nokia phone, you probably already know that the app scene is pretty barren.
