Check out this video demo of the first release of Qt Quick components for Symbian Technology. The preview applications contain Qt Quick components, reference API documentation, components gallery for Symbian, music player and Flickr demo applications and example code snippets and documentation. I love the overlay status bar in the top right corner of the screen, hope this materialises in upcoming updates and devices, as it frees up some valuable screen space. Its minor things like this that make the bigger overall difference. Check out the video after the break.

Well today we’ve brought you another preview, where Nirave takes us through the new firmware on a Nokia N8. Hit the jump to take a look.

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 browser didn’t look all too impressive in that demo, however in this one, you’ll notice the browser performing much faster and smoother. Check out the video after the break.

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. Well check out this 9 minute video of the new firmware running on a Nokia C7. I have to say, I’m very disappointed with the browser. It seems to be more of a UI upgrade rather than a performance one.
