Nokia’s new look UI for its Symbian smartphones is a great improvement on what we have now but if you did a double take checking out the gallery, no you weren’t imagining things. That really is an edge-to-edge capacitive multitouch tablet with a Nokia logo on. Is this the Espoo HD2?
Nokia’s new look UI for Symbian, revealed at its Capital Market Day this week, was shown in a slideshow running on a Nokia device we’ve never seen before, with a gorgeous screen.
