Gadget Blog - (Similar names instead of numbers Android, Ubuntu, etc.) despite the large change in the name, the changes in the operating system itself incrementally. Nokia finally fixed text input (even if they do not make a perfect job), the browser is updated and so are other critical applications Symbian. But there are still questions.
Starting with the home screen, we can already see what Anna will be well - exactly the same but with more polish and a new feature here and there. The home screen always consists of three parts. You are free to fill it with widgets and revise as you see fit. If three windows are too much for you, you can delete, you do not need, but you can not more than three.
The window is now scrollable homescreens immediately - it can happen that you slide on the page and when you're done with the gesture on the screen would actually start to draw. The scrolling is smooth, although the graphics are not as common as in high-powered androids. Take the three points at the bottom of the screen you move a window on the right side. You can use the phone over and widgets are automatically adjusted back into its landscape position.
Symbian Anna brings a new style for the icons in the main menu - they are now very well-rounded square. This is mainly a cosmetic change because they just as easily with your thumb as the old are affected (although the 4 "screen is easier than it was for the C7).
The main menu structure remains unchanged, preserving the hierarchical structure of folders. That was a lot of earlier versions of Symbian, and we hoped it would change - to get your applications, you must press the menu and go to Applications. Modern smartphones have installed dozens of applications to access them would have been nice.
You are free to rearrange the icons new as you could go for the placement of all in the main folder and a menu system like flat-ish, but you need to do this manually, there is no option without bulk.
You can also create custom folders to help you improve your applications. All look the custom folder, but give no idea of what to do in it as in some other operating systems. A list view mode is also available, but the scroll contains a lot more, and that is why we preferred to leave things in the network.
Task Manager is identical to the Symbian ^ 3 a - it shows screenshots of running applications, up to three at a time (regardless of the orientation of the screen). You can drag the page to navigate between applications and you can kill them with one click.
An interesting possibility is by using the link in the upper right corner of the screen available. It gives you a bigger Clock, a link to the menu of connectivity, a button for the battery info (as% of charge and "Enable Power Saving" link) and alerts - such as missed calls, new messages, and others. It only shows the number of events, it will not show you the beginning of a new text message as the notification area of Android. You can Wi-Fi and USB connectivity settings go here.
Performance-wise, the Nokia X7 is virtually identical to the Symbian ^ 3 models that came before him. Hardly a surprise, because it uses the same hardware and Anna is more than one function, rather than improve performance.
And although heavy multitasking will frown on 256 MB of RAM, we have not "Out of memory" error, even if the camera and web browser with two tabs in the background.
Symbian Anna is definitely a step in the right direction, but we have had fear of competition increases. While Apple and Google are trying to outdo each other with all sorts of innovative user interface, Symbian has just caught a few years ago.
Positive change is that it always makes a virtual Back button visible to facilitate the navigation applications.
On the other hand, in the options menu or on the structure of the menus / submenus, which is based a relic from the days of non-touch Symbian and beg, modified to a solution like Android (which shows the menu button, a panel 6 -8 with buttons for most commonly used options, perhaps a multi-button if you really want to dig into the settings).
There are more changes (with a little more critical) to come, but we will discuss this in the appropriate sections. Read also : Samsung Galaxy SII Plus .
