“Symbian” Articles

Last week we came across this Symbian^3 PR 2.0 firmware update demo on a Nokia C7, which showed us some of the new features headed to Symbian^3 devices in the PR 2.0 Firmware.

The firmware details state that it improves the phone’s performance and brings the latest features to the device. The 907 kB update should be available for most of you Nokia E7 users right now, although it may take a while for it to become available to all regions and carriers.

Yesterday we brought to you the Symbian^3 PR 2.0 Firmware Presentation Video, showcasing some of the new features headed to Symbian^3 devices in the PR 2.0 Firmware.
