This December 5th, 2014, the age of Nokia Sync will be over. This affects the Nokia Series 40, Nokia N9, and a number of Nokia Symbian phones.

In 2008 Nokia launched Ovi brand, Ovi Sync later changed the brading name with Nokia Sync. Nokia Sync is the service that synchronises your contacts, calendar appointments and notes between your phone and the cloud.

The communication has come through emails sent out to individuals with Nokia sync enabled. The Email added that the Nokia Sync service will be stopped on 5 December 2014. After 5 December 2014, you will not be able to access your data through the Nokia Sync service. At the moment you are encouraged to export and/or migrate your data from the service before this date.

Thank you, Nokia Sync. For the good times and the bad. Now on the 5th of December, 2014, you will die.

For everyone here lamenting with me, by all means, check out the two ways you can live your life beyond Nokia Sync. Both are included on Microsoft’s warning page – export or migrate. Make with the change. Accept the change.

Here’s the email, anyway:

Dear Nokia mobile phone customer,
