New Symbian UI stars in a Nokia X7 promo video

Prematurely leaked promo videos made for 3 UK show for the first time the new Symbian UI running on actual devices. The commercials for the yet-unreleased Nokia E6 and Nokia X7 were quickly made private on YouTube, but a tipster of ours uploaded the one for the Nokia X7 on his channel.

It is quite surprising that we are seeing the new Symbian UI already in action, as it was previously thought the update won't come until the fall. Nokia might be farther along with this thing than imagined, so the London event tomorrow all of a sudden got more interesting.

We'll make sure to inform you on any news that get spilled tomorrow about Symbian's new interface and devices. In the meantime, watch some fast browsing (supposed to be three times snappier than now), flexibly sized widgets, and working up that portrait keyboard in the Nokia X7 promo video below.

The browser interface actually looks quite polished, and we are glad that Nokia is delivering on its promise to keep improving Symbian. Now where are those 1GHz+ and dual-core phones promised for this year, Espoo? Oh, and from the looks of it, we are finally getting rid of the tired Nokia Sans font, which has been replaced with the new Nokia Pure creation.

Thank you for the tip, Philip!
