Though the Nokia N8 is designed with QWERTY keyboard, some users complain the phone doesn’t feature the keypad’s portrait orientation. Of course, the handset’s landscape keyboard can be setup enough well for working very comfortably, but this kind of keyboard can make the users to lose their way to enter more text than allowed.

As we know the Gravity is a very useful app for such service as Twitter, and as it cooperates with Nokia its developers released an alpha version of the Gravity Twitter/Facebook/Foursquare/Google Reader software which provides its own keyboard and comes as a Nokia’s answer to all conversations.

As we can see in the screenshots, the keys are in quite distance from each other allowing to type characters pretty well. The keyboard doesn’t have auto correction or cool keyboard features like double space for a period or auto-capitalization of the “I”.

I guess there is no need to go back to the Swype, as the Gravity is created enough well, and probably many users will love it.

That’s not a secret that Nokia N8 and the other Symbian^3 devices have improved their interacting with social networking. Now let’s see what new Symbian^3 OS has for us.

At first you can sign in to multiple communities at once and view all your feeds on your phone’s home screen, the last feature allows you to jump into posts from the home screen. You can also access Facebook or Twitter and search for friends from your contacts. This means the developers have decided to integrate your “phone life” with your “Web life” without any difficulties.

Also you can import Facebook events into the phone’s calendar.

As Symbian^3 provides reliable internet connection, one of the main functions of the phone is the opportunity to share general events of your life with your friends. So you can share videos, photos from camera to your social galleries, upload multiple pictures to social networks at once and many other useful features.
 
It’s just a nice social experience on Symbian^3 by OVI. So you can find much more for you exploring the new Nokia N8 coming late on September.

Vice-president of Nokia’s head of sales and marketing  Niklas Savander, responding via Twitter to users’ questions, explaining the reasons for the unwillingness to release Android smartphones. According to him, the mobile platform from Google does not support everything that may be done by Symbian and MeeGo.

It should be noted that on many topical issues concerning the situation of Finnish companies, Niklas Savander preferred to laugh it off, and some of his answers were similar to the slogans of good prospects for Nokia. Nevertheless, some useful information from the unique Twitter-interviews can be learned.

Thus, the representative of the Finnish company said that the first Nokia smartphone running MeeGo will be presented at the end of the year. In this case, Niklas Savander agreed with the statement that the time between the announcement of devices and their release should be reduced.

Senior Representative ofNokia also said that for now the company has no plans to work closely with the U.S. carriers Verizon, AT & T and T-Mobile.
