Nokia unveils Symbian Belle OS – better late than never
August 24th, 2011 / 1 Comment » / by Faizan
Today, Nokia unveiled latest update to its Symbian 3 OS named Symbian Belle that put Nokia in head to head competition with current smartphone market leaders Android and iOS. But Nokia should have released this OS around two years ago when smartphone war was about to start, not now when Nokia has almost lost it. The new OS brings UI and performance improvements, gorgeous new widgets, more customization options, more apps and built-in NFC functionality. All these updates make this OS visually similar to Android and is enough to keep Nokia fans happy for some time until they realize the need for all those awesome apps already available for other platforms. Checkout the UI demo video.

I am not an iPhone fan but Steve Jobs was right that ‘Antennagate is not unique to iPhone 4′. In this video I’ve tested my old Nokia 6120c to demonstrate that it doesn’t work either if you hold it the wrong way (aka Death Grip) :p however I’ve used this phone for over two years but it never dropped a single call due to this issue.

Mobile OS Wars – Invaded by Touch Screen Devices
February 16th, 2010 / No Comments » / by Faizan
Back in March last year I shared an article Mobile Os Wars: Symbian leads globally. According to recent Canalys press release 55% of cellphone are now touchscreen with apple having 33.1% followed by Nokia with 29.5% market share. Symbian still leads overall market with 47.2 % share but with only 4.8% growth last year. Currently Android has 4.73% market share but in 2009 7.7 million Android based handsets were sold and predictions are that by 2013 Android will be world’s No.2 mobile OS followed by Symbian.
