The update is going to offer S pen applications with some multimedia features. Easier multitasking with revamped user interface are the things that you are going to get with the update.

So, Galaxy Note owners, Cheers!

Nokia Belle Feature Pack2 Update


Owners of newer Symbian phones got some good news recently when Nokia announced that they'll be getting a Feature Pack 1 Update for their smartphones. They might be in for some more good news - results on the HTML5 Test list results for "Nokia Belle FP 2 (S60 5.5)".
The FP1 update is featured on the Nokia 808 PureView, but will make its way to the 603, 700 and 701, with the last two getting a CPU speed bump. It's not clear what we might expect from FP2 (it's not official), but Nokia seems to have done a lot of work on the browser.
The Belle FP1 update gives a big boost to the browser in terms of compatibility - it jumps from 157 (+ 7 bonus points) for vanilla Belle to 212 (+ 9 bonus points) for FP1 and higher still with FP2 - 242 (+ 9 bonus points).
For comparison, Android 2.3 scores 181+1, Android 4.0 does 256+3, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango scores very low at 141+5, while Mobile Safari on iOS 5 is king of the stock browsers with a score of 305+9.


The device running Belle FP2 is listed as Nokia 701, so there's a good chance that the devices that are getting FP1 will get FP2 as well.
Anyway, a post on Nokia Beta Labs caught our attention too - it marks the end of the beta period for Universal Search. It's a handy feature that looks through contacts, emails, maps and so on (similar but better than the old Search app found in older Symbians).
What's interesting about it is now that the beta is over, you'd expect to get the release version of the app - but it's nowhere to be found in the Nokia Store. It's quite a coincidence - the appearance of another Belle feature pack and the disappearance of Universal Search - so that's one feature that might be headed to FP2.
By the way, that HTML5 Test results page is very interesting and mentions a couple of big names - Windows Phone 8 and Tizen 1. That, of course, is flimsy proof of their existence, but still.
Thanks to Jason for the tip!

Nokia N8 - Review

Nokia N8 - The beauty! Yes, you read it right. The Nokia N8, the flagship mobile made by Nokia is undoubtedly the grandeur of Finnish mobile company's architecture. In this article, let me tell you why I say 'The Nokia N8' is a standout. 

The design, the materials used, the looks, the feel in hand and the overall elegance of the Nokia N8 make me say 'awesome!'. Truly it's a cool looking beast packed with all that a mobile user ever dreams to have. Those who criticize the Finns, have never felt the elegance of N8. Now, let us see what make the Nokia N8 standout. 

BODY: It has the 'anodized aluminium' unibody. It has cool looking finish all around the body. Nokia has made sure that even the protruding camera lens complemented the design of the mobile. 

DESIGN: The ergonomics are brilliant. The SIM card slot and Micro SD card slots go together with latches made of high quality plastic. Another thing that you find on the left side of the mobile is the Micro USB port which can be used to charge the mobile via USB cable. On the right, there is a beautifully designed Volume Rocker, a slider key to lock and unlock the screen and a dedicated camera shutter key. On the top you have Power Key, MINI HDMI port with dust cover and 3.5 mm audio jack. On the bottom, you have menu cum task manager key and Nokia's proprietary Charging port. On the back of the phone, the amazing lens. A 12 Mega Pixel Camera that takes amazing still pictures as well as High Quality 720p videos. In fact N8's 720p video footage is far better than 1080p videos taken by other competitors.

SOFTWARE: This is where the critics had an edge. People grunted saying that Symbian 3 was not at all innovative. But the later and improved versions of Anna and Belle ruled out these comments and criticism. Now the software used in Nokia Belle is by far the best in terms of giving hassle-free experience of using a mobile phone.

CONCLUSION: I do not know how many people are with me when I say N8 is the King. But it truly is!
