Nokia is starting to ramp up the number of apps that will appear exclusively on the Ovi Store, it’s one-stop shop for the latest Nokia apps and utilities. The first of which takes the already hugely popular Facebook app and gives it a twist in the form of the Facebook Birthday for the Nokia N97.

Facebook Birthday works in conjunction with your Facebook account by sending you a reminder two days before your friend’s birthday, giving you plenty of time to plan something special, or just be aware that you need to get in touch with them. What’s more, the app also allows you to send a special Nokia birthday card.

The app is based around a calendar view and allows you to import your Facebook friends details from your Contacts list. It’s really a simple idea with a lot of thought behind it. If you’re not already using Facebook on your Nokia N97 then now is the perfect time to start.

The first version of Facebook Birthday is aimed at Nokia’s flagship handset, the Nokia N97, but should work with other Symbian S60 5th Edition devices. What’s more, we expect the app to be quite a hit with the social networkign set, so no doubt will quickly appear on other S60 handsets and it may even make its way on to S40 devices over time.

The Nokia N97 Facebook Birthday is due for release from the Nokia Ovi Store in the next week or so.
