Nokia officially confirms to discontinue Ovi Contacts website from January 24, 2012. According to the company, users cannot access the website ovi.com, but can continue to store contacts, sync and take a back up data normally. In other words, users will be able to use and back up contacts on Nokia phone but not on Ovi website.
First, if you are an Ovi Contacts user, you will have six weeks before the web service will be discontinued. But even after that date, you will still be able to easily export your synced Contacts data to a PC at any time.
Second, if you would like to continue using a web-based contacts service, here are the steps you need to follow so you can export your contacts to alternative services like Hotmail, Microsoft Outlook 2010, Yahoo! Mail, gMail or Apple Address Book (Lion OS):
Visit contactsui.ovi.com from your personal computer.
Login to your Ovi account.
Click the green button below the message text.
contacts export
Save the file to your local drive (take a note of the folder you put it in).
Click on the file to review and access your data file
Your contact data is in .csv format.
Once you have selected an alternate contact service, follow their import instructions.
When you asked to select a file for import, select to your Ovi Contact data file.
Further information on this transition is available nokia support...
