via conversations This widely anticipated update for Symbian brings a load of new features. Instead of three home screens, you now will have six. This will let you personalise even more and keep all of your favourite things a press away. The improved Nokia Belle interface also adds HD video recording capabilities at 30 frames per second, a new notification bar which lets you see if you have any missed calls, messages emails or reminders etc, as well as the ability to turn on and off processes like Bluetooth and WiFi.

via Sheridan01's most excellent flickr set First up is Richard (a.k.a. Sheridan01). He's actually a native resident of our adopted home, Finland, but took his N8 to New York recently and boy, did he take some awesome photos! Nothing more needs to be said, apart from a hearty virtual slap on the back for bringing us such an amazing bite of the Big Apple. ... To continue the photo theme, the Nokia US facebook page ran a contest (just ended) that got some awesome entries. [...]

..('Now you've read the review, check out the unboxing'). But now, just because we can, @Nokia_Connects brings you all three, in one post. For your reading/viewing pleasure :-) First up is the review, the standard by which anyone with a phone and wishing to share their thoughts is judged. Shiro Nomad from Phones Tablet has done just that, shared thoughts. The take away phrase from the review: "[The] Nokia E7 has blow[n] fresh wind to the market. [...]

It’s always tough getting that perfect photo when you have very little natural light entering your camera phone lens. While some experienced photographers light their surroundings or subjects using high end camera lights, we think you guys are talented enough to do it the natural way. Let's see who the real dark horses of the photography world are. We will make it a little easier for you by allowing the use of your camera flash, but use it wisely ;) Here are two great photos that encapsulate exactly what we are looking for: via Jamaalism with a Nokia N86 8mp w/Carl Zeiss lens via marioberzosa with a Nokia N8 Post the link to your image with a short description at Nokia Connects.

So we rounded up three stealthy black Nokia phones to compare their shapes, sizes, curves and differences. Our eyes are attracted to one particular black beauty though, which is the new Nokia Lumia 800. Put side-to-side with an N9, there's not much that sets them apart aside from a few details. Lets go... Left to right we have the Nokia N9, Lumia 800 and N8. In the photograph it looks like the N8 is taller but I assure you it's not. [...]

We always get such fantastic content from everyone in the community and feedback to boot, so it really is a pleasure to share these beautiful pictures by talented Nokia users. Anyway, without further ado here we go! To kick things off we have this spiky little fellow who was photographed by Irfan Samuel. This particular image was shot with his trusty Nokia N900. We really like the colour fades and the tiny detailed hairs that cover them. [...]
