Possible Nokia UX for Meego devices
OOOHHHH !!!!! look at what we have very nice indeed. If this is real then OMG !!!!!:-)
Update possible ad showing the new Nokia Meego device
The reason why I am showing this is because it shows the same tool bar at the top that I saw in the video above and Symbian 4 screenshots, so these seem legit.
The future is looking bright for Nokia I guess 
Thanks to R240R and Jim for the heads up !
Clearly running on an Emulator…I hope people do not think it is laggy!!
Amazing by the way!!!
Yeah It looks proper real its gotta be it and if it is OH MY GOD I have got have this (lag free hopefully)
omfg…wow! Please let it be true!
i think it’s true. looks really nice. and if you look at the comments on youtube people like the new UI. great job nokia. great job
I can honestly say that i am surprised and quite excited by this….easily miles above anything else out there at this point in terms of sheer looks and quite likely a rather extensible and powerful os… Hp and google are gna have to bring their A-game! Bring on nokia world
Agree with you there combines striking UI with simple functionality, I was surprised myself and thought straight away FAKE. But then this was supposed to have been showed off in a questionnaire according to reports and it has the Nokia trade mark logo and “Top Secret” written in the left hand corner so lets hope and see
heavy shit! nokia wont let us down. and you “never gonna byu nokia”, dont.
nice very nice
OMG! indeed! C’mon Nokia Fight Back!!!!!!!!!!!
as nokia said here in finland : we are loadin our weapons.
well, waiting for proper hardware..
That looks damn good. Thank god they decided to go with a Maemo-style look….assuming its real, that is.
I’m pretty confident that it’s real enough that it was built.
That is not just a demo image, noone in UI design goes that far just to show a concept. Concepts are generally uninteractive images.
Whether it actually gets to devices is an entirely different story. I have a sneaking feeling we’ll find out in a few short weeks @ Nokia world.
guy check this pic: http://news.idealo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/nokia-ui-concept.jpg looks awesome
This make my day beautiful
It’s been in the pipeline for a while it seems
I don’t know if this is real or not. The N97 had some sick looking demos before the final UI was released and you guys know how that turned out. I think with 8 or 9 months before the final release I’m not going to get too excited.
And the N8 has had piss-poor demos but great real life performance.
I hope so. I don’t think nokia wants to make the same mistake twice.
First vid is MeeGo, Image looks like S^4 rather than MeeGo tbh. You can tell by the back arrow, the font, and the shape of the top bar.
great to see it looking closer to Meego/Maemo though
indeed
anyone willing to bet on a common UI style between the two OS’s?
S^4 and Meego
Thats what I thought when Nokia revealed their Symbian/Meego strategy makes sense I guess although some modifications like music phones and business phones would be nice though.
Would make total sense to me. The average user wouldn’t even think about MeeGo or Symbian – it’s just a Nokia. I think that’s what they should be doing. Still then they would have to find a way to differentiate the NSeries from the rest of the S^4 devices…

Sexy as hell!
Looks very good, but I kinda didn’t like the blue button at the top menu bar(at 0:28), should be a different colour IMO, I think in Nokia’s fashion, Meego will be fully theme-able?
I like that S^4 and Meego have more unified system navigation though menu/back, options, close… look the same. It should make switching back and forth and adapting applications for both much easier.
At 0:39, when they show Ovi Store, IMO, the top and bottom menus should be the same width/height.
I don’t like the “Add application” in the applications menu, it should be a separate “Ovi Store” icon, like all the other icons.
That footage seems old, I wonder what’s their current progress.
It is themeable. And it’s likely old.
We’ll know more by mid-september
I hope Symbian^4 will have a similar look’n'feel.
They’ve said that’s what they’re trying to do for S^4. Check out the UI layout for applications there and the layout for applications on MeeGo, they’re VERY VERY similar.
Does it make sense to have the home button on the top left corner? Considering the probably >4″ display.
That’s a necessary part of the UI because of the varying hardware designs that are to be expected with MeeGo devices. Some OEM’s will include hardware home buttons and others won’t simply as a matter of aesthetics. There has to be a persistent way to exit, a persistent way to get to the homescreen and a persistent way to switch tasks. It’s the way the UI is. Not saying that it’s perfect but it’ll work.
I would definitely prefer some hardware buttons to free up some more screen, make the options, home etc easier to reach and to make it a bit prettier.
I’d have to agree with you there.
Well, the button is necessary of course, just the placement would prob. be better somewhere else? Lower left corner e.g.?
It’s a very good UI. I hope that S4 will be good as well. I cross my fingers to have a good hardware…
that’s Meego-harmattan.real meego is different.nokia will use this.
How do you know it’s Harmattan and not S^4?
You can tell by the design this is Harmattan.
I agree with JFH on this one, the launcher is a dead giveaway for MeeGo.
Even though in passing this could be mistaken for S^4
That seems like a good thing don’t ya think?
Consistency across devices?
Most users too dumb or don’t care enough to notice the difference except that one is slightly better and more expensive
To me it sounds like a damn good plan
delete movie
If its this S^4 real, then Nokia will really strike back hard… otherwise… another one fail… but lets hope for the best
