@Zype: I’m going to have a guess here and say that’s most likely the proximity sensor to detect when you have the phone up to your ear (in order to turn the screen off). Looks like it’s emitting an infrared light, which would be visible while filmed but not by the naked eye.
I’m guessing that is the proximity sensor. It’s showing up on the video because it uses infrared, but is invisible to the human eye. Like I said, I’m guessing.
That’s stupid. Have you even tried Opera Mobile 12? It’s as good as safari or the android stock browser, infact better because of the data compression and speed even on slow connections like EDGE.
the browser on symbian sucks.. It always has, and as it seems, it always will. It needs faster ram and a newer processor.. And gpu acceleration. Never going to happen tho
Great!! This symbian version is very smooth, also the browser has an improvement. May be using opera will have better performance, I can say it has nearly the same performance as the galaxy note with opera. I hope Nokia 808 arrives soon to my country, I want a white one unlocked.
I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and take a look at again here regularly. I’m reasonably certain I will learn lots of new stuff right here! Good luck for the following!
I like symbian
I used c6-01 running belle.
faster than anna
but my c6-01 is missing
so I buy a sam galaxy ace because nokia symbian doesn’t have better browser and better games such as gta
but my next smartphone is nokia 808
because I like nokia symbain os which can do faster streaming than android
sorry for my english
Well hopefully there’s an fp3. Bug fixes and stability improvement updates would suck if those were the only updates that we would get after belle fp2.
Why is Browser a little slow?? Beacuse he opens very havy DESKTOP PAGES, even on my laptop with 4GB of RAM when loading havy pages I can not scroll, let alone the zoom! The mobile pages are much faster!!
Erm…on pretty much every new mid/high end mobile you can scroll/pan whilst the pages are loading, even heavy pages. Check N9/800/iPhone/higher end android. It’s just the Symbian default browser. It has improved, yes, but it is still somewhat behind in general responsiveness. It’s still chequerboarding.
Ok, so no frame skipping!!!
Wow, it’s much faster than my N8. Browser still could be better though. I wonder how Opera Mobile (my favourite mobile browser) will run on this HW.
what is that red light that appear in the top off the phone when he start the call??? in minute 4:50

SHOW ME OPERA ON THAT PHONE!!!
stock browser sucks ballz…choppy as hell
i shouldn’t have to put up with such garbage in a 2012 release phone.
Stock browser is working like a pc browser,it shows the original page.you must compare Opera with s40 nokia browser.

Gpu acceleration actually exists in Symbian world since the the n8, or perhaps even earlier.
from N95, but it was missing in s60v5 based phones until S^3
soo such nice headphones

Some one said nokia 808 as the official phone of the London 2012 Olympic Games. what a great news ….
I thought SGS3 is going to be…
That’s far too sensible and brilliant an idea for it to be true. Elop wouldn’t approve even if it was free…

Except for the browser .. everything was pretty fast.
Hope FP2 brings more optimization through out the OS.
I still feel somehow that Symbian will see development after FP2 & that will come from Nokia and not Accenture.

does nokia bella have any startdict dictionary apps? Call and sms blocker?
looks like image stabilizing is missing.
..there is just no way to do it when zooming during video, it the same exact thing with the N8.
Much better video! Loving the Italian language too, despite not knowing any, it made me chuckle.

Well, it seems Java and flash are active, so that´s why it is slow. You can always deactivate one, or both of them and speed improves a lot.
