It’s been a while since we
last heard something on Symbian^4. While ^3 is yet to roll out, its
successor already showed its face. The shots are taken from an emulator
of the OS, but there's no wow factor yet.
The shots below clearly demonstrate the new homescreen, pop-up menus, widgets, dial pad, etc.
The things we still miss here
are some 3D effects or transparency. At this stage we can’t simply put
Symbian^4 to its current rivals. Still let’s don’t forget Symbian^4
aims Nokia’s mid-range devices, while MeeGo is intended for the
high-end class.
Symbian^4’s development phase
is still in the beginning and there is a lot of time until its launch
in 2011. We believe Nokia is on the right track here and has all the
chances to surprise us in the end.
Nokia still trying to catch up. Now they add big analog and digital clocks. Nokia should add the animated wallpaper to their new phones. They only use it in their S40 series. Many love the Android live wallpaper.
