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.

Google Making Maps Location History Private, Even from Police

Dec 15, 2023
Google is changing how Maps stores your location history, moving it on-device by default and encrypting it when saved to the cloud. This change means even Google can't access that data, which also means Google will no longer be able to respond to "geo-fence" warrants from police wanting to know who was in a given area at a given time.

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
