Recently, our friends that monitor facebook.com/ovibynokia and twitter.com/ovibynokia asked a simple, yet important question: “What are your favourite Ovi Store Apps and why?” Obviously, the question was posed to fans on Facebook and via Twitter. And now, we’re happy to report that the results are in!

It is our pleasure to share with you the fan faves – and perhaps this won’t come as too much of a surprise. The apps that you have chosen are some of our personal favourites, too. The top 3 selections – not including Ovi Maps, which is a really good choice of its own – are: Gravity, Nimbuzz and Snaptu. Full details in the chart below.

If for some reason you aren’t familiar with those apps just yet, now’s a great time to get up to speed. We’ve reviewed all 3 of those apps in the past:

• Gravity
• Nimbuzz
• Snaptu

And, as it happens, in our new Tutorials section (click on the “Tutorials” tab at the top of this page), you can get a first-hand look at both Gravity and Nimbuzz – we’ll try to add a Snaptu tutorial soon.

Interesting that all three of the top picks are for social networking/sharing purposes … is it a sign of how we’re using our Nokia mobile devices these days?

Did your favourite app make the list? Didn’t get a chance to weigh in the first time? Tell us your thoughts about your favourite apps for use on Nokia mobile devices using the Comments section below.
