Nokia explains the design process behind Symbian Belle
If you’ve always wondered what went through the minds of the designers at Nokia while they were designing Symbian Belle, you’re in luck. The company has recently posted up a short documentary on its official blog, describing the whole design process. Basically, the designers wanted users to spend less time looking down at their devices, and spend more time interacting with the world around them. With that in mind, they decided to make all the information in Symbian Belle just a glance away.

But seeing how most people don’t even have Symbian Belle on their phones, it’s just going to frustrate even more people learning about something they don’t have. Either way if you want to know more about Symbian Belle, check out the video documentary. What do you think? Did the designers manage to accomplish what they set out to do?

The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
