Nokia Windows Phone in the driver's seat and Symbian will have to settle for a backup role. But an OS that was once too big to fail, is finally going too good to throw away. A beautiful phone like Nokia 700 is the ideal boat for the Belle of Symbian. The new fast, fluid and beautiful Belle Symbian.
And here's a video of Belle, because the static images do not tell the whole story :

Key elements in Belle makeover is the new home screen and menu, native applications and polishing update of the interface. Here's a video demonstration complete with the Nokia 700, so you can have a good idea to Belle, before you start.
You can get up to six home screens (versus three) and can eliminate unnecessary ones. Each screen has its own individual wallpaper, instead of one to share with everyone. A striking contrast to Android home screen scrolling panel is closed if it is not necessary to return to the previous one. Auto-rotation of the home screen is also activated.
Widgets are dropped one-size-fits-all philosophy and now up to five sizes. In addition to widgets, you can also place shortcuts on the home screen - at the end of shortcut widgets idiot.
A press and hold an active flash mode for editing shortcuts, but only for this flash / shortcut. You can not touch others - no way you can change all at once (which seems a bit annoying). You can move, delete, or (if available) to access the selected parameters.
In addition to widgets and app shortcuts, you can also add shortcuts to the contacts screen. To do this you must go to the Settings menu, contact information, but the roosters are worth more. You end up with direct access to the contacts you call most often.
The bottom of the main page has three virtual buttons - Menu, and dial settings for the first page. Another great addition to the home screen is a drop-down status bar at the top of the screen - think of the Android notification or the notification area of the Centre iOS 5 This area is where the notifications and status information for the wait, but you can also get a change of mobile data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and silent mode.
The status bar below is available on any screen allowing you to change a parameter and look for new events.
Moving on, the main menu has changed as well - is now completely empty, it is not level when the level of absurdity as subfolders. Or at least not by default - you can still manually create the folders if you want. You can not put folders within folders though (not that you want to do anyway).
You can sort the icons in alphabetical order, or manually select the Organize menu option, and the Nokia around. You can not delete a shortcut to the folder, while at the same time to organize. You can do this, you must press and hold the key, select Move to folder and select the desired folder. Also add the Start menu and delete options are here.
This provision is not as convenient as other operating systems, and is contrasted with the way the home screen works. On the Home screen, you press and hold to move an item, while a tap and hold on an item pulls up a menu. To move items you have to press the Options key and choose Arrange.
It's a bit strange how the files work on the home screen - you can add a folder to the home screen to create the first menu. After you have added to the home screen is still visible in the menu.
Because the main menu is busier than usual - and will no longer cluttered when installing additional applications - the search option is a smart addition.
The task manager in Symbian Belle is almost the same - press and hold the menu button will appear. There are plenty of side-scrolling thumbnails, one for each of the open applications. Note that hit the end key ends an application, while pressing the menu button only goes to the screen with the active application in the background.
