Nokia is busy updating the design of its UI (mainly icons), these days. If you have a Symbian phone and installed some latest apps (like PlayTo from betalabs) recently then you might have noticed the new type of icons different from the conventional Nokia ones. In fact all icons in Symbian Anna phones are the new ones. Icons are getting a little curvy as Nokia puts it – “The corners have become a little more rounded, and the styling a bit more simple.” All this change is due to the update of icon guidelines (at Nokia Developer site) for all the major Nokia platforms (Series 40 Touch and Type, Symbian and MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan).
All I can say about this change is – watch out Nokia, don’t make icons anymore curvier (iPhonesque) as Apple is “eager” to sue you of a patent infringement (like they did with Samsung’s Galaxy SII).
