This may be a noob question, so please forgive my ignorance.

Can someone please give me a concise rundown of what Nokia PC Suite & Nokia PC Connectivity Solution are?

I've been searching Google & all over & can't really get a distinction between the two. I'm largely unfamiliar with these applications, but because of some of the work I'm doing for my job I need to find this information out.

Thank you all.

There used to be separate versions of PC Suite for each and every phone model

At some point it evolved into a single, "unified" PC Suite version supporting all phone models (relatively current at the time and afterwards, ignoring support for many older models).

A few yeara later Nokia branched off parts (the core PC connectivity bits/components) from PC Suite to create a new application (user interface) called Ovi Suite (PC Suite was being kept updated alongside) based on Qt.

A couple of years later (last fall) Ovi Suite was renamed to Nokia Suite (as Nokia is gradually moving away from the "Ovi" brand it introduced in 2007).

If things haven't changed lately, you can even install both on the same PC, if you wish.

For N9 (MeeGo) Nokia also has the Nokia Link:

And for Mac users Nokia has had stuff, too:

(Note: For Windows application developers Nokia has also released two different SDKs, Software Development Kits. For the phones prior to the "unified" PC Suite times, there is/was something called the "Nokia PC Connectivity SDK", and for the newer PC Suite supported phones there's the "PC Suite API", also known as "Nokia PC Suite Connectivity API".)
