Symbian Belle – redesign ideas.

| November 22, 2011 | 86 Replies

I’m not sure if this is just an ideas project thing, I’ve not really been following it but there are quite a few good suggestions in this post as to the changes that could take place in Belle.

https://projects.developer.nokia.com/Symbian_redesign

Some welcome changes include increasing the grid view in apps to 4 column like MeeGo-Harmattan instead of 3, and a full sized card interface and not just a thumbnail. With the column view, you have the option to change from 3 or 4 columns by pinch and zooming – something a little MeeGo esque in a way. I’m a fan of giving users the choice instead of taking one feature when a new one is introduced (if possible and not conflicting severely with the UI).

 

Cheers Kristian, James, Blackidea and Rhodes for the tip!

      ey, if you love your n8 with that belle (belle delight 3.4)…. you’re going to have an orgasm with the offical belle, w/out lag, working faster and better, I’ve tried belle delight 3.4, but was dissapointed for some mistakes very obvious and go back to anna, and have discovered many things very interestings, now anna is very stable, fast and works very fine….

    it looks like finally Nokia is hearing the people and looking forward to improve,
    I installed all the roms from Belle from all creators, and I must accept that I was dissapointed at that time because no one took the project like a new project, just change some screes, some sounds, and that was all…..
    but now i’m happy again to see thoses all changes, it’s like a new software, re-creating the last one, and making this better..

    Now see lot of people cry about symbian @Nokia, they said symbian only needs little UI polish and it will be one of the best Os out there!

  10. Saket says:

    New type of music player for touch should be desig, it should have Swype on boring back buttons, menu should not have back button it can be done by Swype, for opening menu there should not be need of button, for task manager too there should not be button it should be done by Swype, the contact should be in single tab or it can be addop from Android, the app delete should be addop from ios or by Meego, need to develop photo browser, Web browser, need to develop INDIAN maps, there should be mark option in alarm and software like siri should be develop and there should be finger print scan for unlock
