The thing I really dislike about PC Suite is that it looks like a bad Borland app with non-standard icons that often leave you wondering WTF they are for and have no mouse-over text to even give you a hint...
i hate pc suite.. there is only one version which i remotly liked a little bit, and that was the one when it was a little box in the middle with shortcuts to most used pc suite utilitys on a drop down..
this was a nseries pc suite i belive, dont really know, i have it installed but its never used.. i just dont find it very usefull atall.. i do use the one touch internet access on my laptop, so i can use my 3.5g unlimited internet connection on my laptop via my phone.. all the backup and stuff is crap, complelty useless.. even more so now with the ovi sync, just manually backup images and music and videos and sync to ovi for your calender, contacts, notes and everything else..
I was using Ovi Suite, but I've since gone back to vanilla PC Suite. It works great for me, and never crashes (knock on wood).
I rather enjoy PC Suite's Bluetooth syncing, as it automatically syncs images and videos, as well as the other stuff. I don't quite trust Sync on Ovi yet.
Good to hear that I'm not the only one who is having issues with Ovi Suite. It seems really confusing although I'm heavy Nokia user. Maybe it is because it has so many features? And it is still missing essential features, like sms sending, showing calls, editing contacts,...
@rcadden - Yes, you are right but I think it also tries to be 'a full home media center'. I believe it will be a challenge to make it usable with that number of features. I wonder will PC Suite be integrated to Ovi Suite some day?

You could do that with the mobile web server too :P and that wouldn't require installing anything on your PC :)

@Teppo - Ovi Suite seems to be more multimedia-focused, whereas PC Suite seems to be more of an actual desktop sync app.
