Symbain^3 got upgrade to 1.1

More often than not I think that Nokia lacks logic in its moves. The fans expected a serious upgrade to fix bugs, add new features to the OS and boost user experience of those who own Symbian^3 models. When Nokia N8 was delayed by several months Nokia representatives mentioned a desire to offer an ideal system as an explanation.

According to PR 1.1 Symbian^3 still has many issues with up to 200 items being already fixed. These are serious drawbacks Nokia paid attention to. For example, developers of Nokia could not solve for years the issue of switching languages on the screen keypad with one tap.How can you be a market leader after that? Why launch an upgrade without serious improvements?

We do not get a new browser or new features. On an official Nokia blog they say that these tweaks are important, but not expressly visible to users. To sweeten the frustration we get a new QuickOffice 6.4.166 with the editing support. N8 got three games in the kit, which were earlier available for free at OVI Store. The performance was not improved and the new version of browser (7.2.8.10) does not offer anything special. It is still as outdated as ever. Integration of maps with mail is hardly a killer feature.

As far as Nokia N8 hit the shelves 4 months ago it took Nokia quite a long time to prepare this upgrade. It is available for Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01. Surprisingly, last week we mentioned in the Spillikins the inability of Nokia to come up with firmware in time.
