While Nokia PC Suite is still being updated, it is slated to be replaced by Nokia's next generation phone suite software[1], Nokia Ovi Suite, which will support other platforms in addition to Windows.[2] Nokia Ovi Suite drops the Lotus Notes client sync support which is present inNokia PC Suite, instead requiring the user to use Lotus Notes Traveler software which must be installed and maintained on the Lotus Notes server- that is, synchronisation using PC Suite works from the phone to the user's PC, synchronisation on a phone which has Ovi Suite must use third party software (such as Lotus Notes Traveler which works from the phone to the server)
