First real Symbian^4 shots are here, we hold our excitement

18 July, 2010
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 UI looks so similar to Android. Speed and usability is going to determine its success.

                    Nokia should standardize their OS,facing some automatic restarts and crashes

                      it looks kinda androish. well, anyway developers do not really have the choice here: either it is said to be outdated or a copy or a mixture of several ui. the initiative for change is good but its not certain that people will adopt it.

                      and for god sake please put the "mark several" in your options because it saves a lot of time(different from having to tap :options> mark> mark this item for each item). im using a 5530 and i can say that its really annoying when i need too delete a lot of things. deleting one by one too is time consuming

                              and we know that the resolution is less than vga. yr not stating a "revolutionary" statement here xD. but we got the widescreen format, ideal for vids unlike those having a 3:2 ratio screen

                                Hey

                                this is just the draft of symbian 4, the retail version of course is better than s3, more powerful and more funtionality than privious symbian version 3 with hdmi support, usbotg support and much more

                                meego is better than maemo and moblin, is the love child of these two os, the first priority that nokia and intel need to do is to make the ui suitable for mass market from where the profit is.

                                This year 2010 is the year for nokia to focus on the ui simplification while maintaining the funtionalities of their os

                                bye

                                  It's not you all about interface, it's about the limited amount of apps you got... correction, useful apps.

                                      Will Symbian 4 be for touch screen nokias only? or will they also be available for the candybar type phones such as the future versions of the C5?

                                        This is meant for Mid-range devices is it? Well if this is it, then this is no match at all with BADA.

                                        BADA will just drown symbian 4 lol.
