Nokia Beta Labs Updates

Nokia Beta Labs has been busy updating a few of the applications since the start of the New Year.

First up is Nokia Nseries PC Suite. What’s the difference between the Nseries and the Normal PC Suite? Apart from the graphical interface I can’t say as;

  1. I can’t install it, there is no support for Windows XP SP1 users, (I have left feedback in regards to this before the update but still no cigar here)
  2. There is no list on the download page of the features it provides.

I’m going to guess it does the same as the Normal PC Suite and it’s just a beta testing application which will replace the Normal PC Suite as the N Series grows. I’d like to give a nice glance over it but as I say I can’t install it as XP SP2 is required to install, so for now here is an overview and download link:

Overview
Nokia Nseries PC Suite is a collection of Nokia Nseries and third-party PC applications that seamlessly tie together your Nokia Nseries multimedia device and your PC. Use the applications to transfer photos or videos from your device to your PC, to copy your favourite music from your PC to your device or to synchronize your calendar and contact information. And much more.

If you already have the old Nseries PC Suite 2.0 in your PC, it is recommended to manually uninstall the old version before running the NEW improved version of Nseries PC Suite.

Next up is Conversation, this is a neat application which takes a different approach with how you use SMS on your handset. It displays you’re SMS’s in a IM style conversation view (hence the name), I’ve tried it but initially had problems with sending messages whilst the application was installed on my N95. Seems like this issue has been fixed and is now available again for N95 users. The application also supports many other handsets, for more info and to download the appropriate version just head over to the Conversation download page.

Overview
Conversation is a messaging application that allows you to follow your conversations, organized by individual contact. In addition, the application provides an easy way to reply to messages, and continue the conversations.

After installation, the application will appear in your device as an application shortcut, and as a new tab in your Contacts application.
