Nokia Announces 1.1 Update for Symbian^3 Handsets

Feb 4, 2011, 11:03 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Nokia has revealed details about version 1.1 of the Symbian^3 platform. The update, which applies to the N8, C7 and C6-01, mostly fixes bugs but does offer some minor new features. Across all the handsets, Ovi Maps are now integrated with the email application, which will let users see locations from within their email or invitations. Meeting requests can also be accepted from within the email application. For just the N8, version 1.1 adds Quick Office 6.4, and three new games. The update is available to unlocked / non-carrier branded versions of the C7 starting today, and will be available to the N8 and C6-01 starting February 7. Carrier-specific versions of the update will be made available at a later date. The update can be downloaded from the Ovi Store. Nokia recommends users switch to Wi-Fi for downloading, as the update is large.

New York "Right to Repair" Law Takes Effect Next Year

Dec 29, 2022
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed into law one of the country's most comprehensive "right to repair" laws. The Digital Fair Repair Act sat on the governor's desk for quite some time, and was watered down at the last minute, but still requires that makers of "digital electronic equipment" — including phones — provide parts, tools, and documents to owners and repair providers to facilitate repairs.

Why is Nokia even trying...

to keep symbian alive? They have no chance of keeping up with i0S or android or windows phone 7 at this point. They need to cut their losses and join the decade of mobile os
