        What exactly are you trying to say. That nokia copied the idea of a pull down notification or that nokia copied the looks ot the android pull down notification.

        I've never seen the android solution so i wouldnn't know if they were simillar but i thought the question here was who implemented such feature first.

The one on Maemo doesn't even look, feel, and operate like the Android pulldown notification system. The one on Symbian Belle does and so it's a SHAMELESS RIP OFF of Android's pulldown notification. XD

                And before someone says something stupid again, i believe nokias come with 5 themes preloaded. The default once u switch on is always black as in power saver.

                    Thats the default theme and its obviously (atleast for us with iqs over 70) built around power efficiency. Trying to give those CB amoled Displays some purpose.

                    There's got to be over a 10 million sybian themes on the net.

                      Symbian Belle doesn't seem have fully support of Nokia N8 capacitive touch screen, it seem lack of speed & responsive capability

                            why is it that everything that comes from nokia looks like sh*t? seriously, everything is like after-thought untineresting, lookd like beta or something, huge icons, huge bars, plain tabs, white text, all black bacjgrounds, and thats it, thats what you get. oh chaam aahhn! dont get me wrong this isnt just because i saw this bell OS , it all apply to those previous version of symvian, and now this, really now very uninteresting OS.

                                    I hated Android but this is what it came up to. Nokia is now trying to make Symbian look like Android. The pull down notification at 1:27 of the video was shamelessly ripped from Android.

                                      No one really cares if you think that it's time to move to Android really, it's about a huge update for Nokia users and that all that matters.
                                      Go troll somewhere else, let's talk about the article itself, not about your opinion about Nokia.

                                        Now all you people forget nokia because it is in the wrong hand just move on.
                                        Why don't we accept change.
                                        The new change is andoroid and ios.
                                        We started with nokia, and it is not compulsory that we should end we nokia.
                                        Therefore just give yourself a chance to look around you.
                                        Take something new and try it like SG2 or any andoroid or IOS.
                                        Give nokia a space so that they should realised their customer worth.
                                        Those who are working for customer are just getting ignore with their hardwork.
                                        Please admire these new players and motivate them.
                                        Just because of them only you are now able to see N8 or N9 N500 etc.
                                        Dont allow monopoly as it used to be earlier by nokia.
                                        They just played with hardend cusotmers money.
