Nokia has made it clear that it will revamp the user interface (UI) of its Symbian phones, and you might have seen the video above during Mobile World Congress. However, what’s more interesting is that Nokia has removed a ton of legacy code and APIs, to make the clean break that was long overdue. We’re getting closer to what was available on the N900 and some of the qualities are the same (the app switching UI is excellent), but the new UI is seemingly much faster and more fluid. With the new software architecture, comes new code that is not built to deal with last decade’s problems such as lack of graphics hardware or horrible memory constraints.
The net result should be much more responsive Nokia phones and interfaces. I’m glad that Nokia (and others) are seeing the light, because Apple and Microsoft sure did too. Now, we’re waiting for the actual hardware that we suspect might come out this summer at Nokia World.
