Symbian 3 gets new design goes further than skin deep

Nokia has made it clear that it will revamp the user interface (UI) of its Symbian phones, and you might have seen the video above during Mobile World Congress. However, what’s more interesting is that Nokia has removed a ton of legacy cipher and APIs, to assemble the clean break that was towering overdue. We’re getting closer to what was available on the N900 and some of the qualities are the same (the app switching UI is excellent), but the new UI is seemingly much faster and more fluid. With the new software architecture, comes new cipher that is not built to deal with last

decade’s problems such as lack of graphics hardware or horrible memory constraints.

The net outcome should be much more responsive Nokia phones and interfaces. I’m glad that Nokia (and others) are seeing the light, considering Apple and Microsoft certain did too. Now, we’re waiting for the actual hardware that we suspect might come out that summer at Nokia World.
