The team has benefited a lot from your invaluable feedback and we have incorporated many of these sugestion into our latest version. Most people love the concept of browsing through their favourite media brands through our mobile optimised client. However, we have decided not to productize this as a standalone application but will work closely to merge our media brands with our existing application, Nokia Web Run Time Widgets. Neverthless, we have achieved great breakthrough through the trial and will introduce some of these invaluable lessons into other Nokia Offerings.

Hey buddy,
I've got a problem when I try to sign up a nokia account from mobile phone. In the 3rd step called "security question", there is no Next button, while Back button is on the right side.
I don't know why this happens.
My phone is 6120 classic. And I'm sure that I've correctly installed the support file and mobile client.

Thank you!

Sorry, the post is for Nokia Chat.
Sorry to bother~

This new features are amazing!! Congratulations! Well I was wondering if this new version will have some extra protection regarding to your personal informations, since all will be recorded in Nokia's device(in case of a robery or something similar). Thanks a lot, and success!!

...except that as of right now, Nokia Web Run Time Widgets is an FP2 feature only, leaving the -vast- majority of us who were running Headlines now left out. :|

well - the Headlines still works fine - please do not shut it down untill the holiday is over!

I was wondering whether this decision affects the original Nokia Channels (channels.nokia.com) application and service.

Well, now you've shut down the Headlines server, which means even if you have the app it's become worthless. And we're still waiting to see the fruits of this project appear in the WRT platform.

I still can't express just what a bad idea this is. I've told many many people that Headlines was superior to the iPod's NY Times app from reading the Times' content whenever the topic has come up -- it downloaded in the background, saved faster, browsed faster, etc. etc. The iPod app is prettier but I've only heard complaints from users about speed and connectivity. Headlines easily was the most used app on my Nokia: I fought tooth and nail with AvantGo, Plucker, et al on the Palm years ago to get Times content offline on my PDA and this was a dream experience in comparison.

Now, instead of being able to trumpet a clear success, we're now waiting for some presumably half-assed attempt in Widgets, which so far have only produced "gems" like WeatherBug, which is rudimentary, unusable offline, and does not background fetch automatically. Reuters is an abortion of mobile usability: requiring people to click on only the twistie controls using the phone's web cursor to expose a sentence-worth of story at a time without any sort of magnetic lock to the UI elements. Insulting, really.

I really, really hope that there is more to widgets.nokia.mobi to come, because right now all it is is a sea of hacked-up RSS feeds in unfriendly and inconvenient interfaces. Unless Nokia is going all out and is working with providers directly to make some kick-ass, grade-A widgets -- and not to mention, is ready to show us features of the platform that we haven't seen yet -- then this will be the worst mistake I've ever seen roll through Beta Labs.

I visited nokia's official site,i clicked on my region.to download some softwares compatible with ma phone bt its nt going ,i jst dont knw d reason????
