It is commonly believed that Nokia has sidelined its Symbian OS after aligning with Microsoft Windows Phone 7. However, it seems that though the struggling mobile giant may not have grand plans for the OS, it surely has not stopped developing the OS.
A recent video on CNET shows the company working on the successor of its latest Symbian operating system Anna. The supposedly leaked video shows Nokia N8 running the upcoming version of the OS codenamed Belle. The key features that the new OS will reportedly offer include new widget layout, virtual keyboard, updated notifications tab, redesigned interface and improved camera UI.
The screenshots of the upcoming Symbian Belle on My Nokia Blog show the OS offering a universal toolbar placed at the bottom of the screen. The images also suggest OS' web browser offering a multitab view.
Nokia currently offers two handsets E6 and X7 on Symbian Anna platform. The cellphone maker has just recently added its 1GHz processor-powered Nokia 500 to its Symbian Anna portfolio.
Meanwhile, Nokia and Microsoft have sent out joint press invites in Germany for August 17. Nokia is expected to unveil its first Windows phone at the event.
