Gravity alpha version for Nokia phones

by Sona - on Nov 3rd 2010 - No Comments

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.

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.
