You don't need that "update mechanism"....

I run many Nokia apps and none have an auto update "push" mechanism. This includes Opera Mini, Calcium (Calculator), PuTTY (for SSH logins), Nokia Email, Gmail, Bolt, etc.

If Google can live without auto Gmail push and if Opera can live without automatic Gmail push, then you can too.

I think the issue for you is not "push/update" but how to create an economic business model and you are planning to use Ovi to collect revenue. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't think you will find much success because ovi "sucks", for a lack of a more technical and polite term, and trying to replicate the Apple iTunes/iStore model with Ovi has not been successful for Nokia because ovi is so bad.

I get the feeling you are wrapping an underlying economic interest in the guise of a technical requirement. However, if you look at most Nokia Symbian Apps from the "big boys" most give away for free (Opera, Gmail, etc.)

How about PM me a copy and I'll install and comment back to you on the commercial viability of the app on Nokia? I use both an E61 and E63, but mostly E63 these days since it is smaller, newer, and nicer, yadda, yadda, yadda.
