SPB Mobile Shell Comes To Symbian 5th Edition

May 26, 2010 | By Admin In Technology |

SPB Mobile Shell has been one of the great Windows Mobile programs over the past several years. Along with HTC’s TouchFLO/Sense UI, it would really give Windows Mobile a great, user-friendly user interface. The main complaint I hear about Symbian/S60 lately is that the UI is out-dated and stale. I have to agree, so it is great to see SPB bring their Mobile Shell program to help users breathe new life into their Symbian 5th Edition devices.

From SPB Software:

May 25th, 2010 – SPB Software, a leading mobile software developer, has launched SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 for Symbian. A best-selling customisation and personalisation tool for touchscreen user interfaces, SPB Mobile Shell for Symbian lets Symbian users make the most of their mobile phones.

With recent Gartner statistics showing that smartphones with a Symbian OS are the fastest-selling mobiles in the world, SPB Software is catering to the huge demand for customisation and personalisation on Symbian OS-based devices.

“Up until now there hasn’t been a good user interface for Symbian yet despite the number of users out there,” said Sebastian-Justus Schmidt, CEO of SPB Software. “Our aim is to bring our experience with Windows Mobile users to Symbian (and other OS) enthusiasts. Last year we launched six projects for the Symbian platform and partnered with Nokia, StarHub and MTS, customising and helping implement the products for Symbian OS. The simple implementation process means manufacturers and mobile operators can easily customise the products on a variety of platforms to offer the same capabilities to all users.”

SPB Mobile Shell was initially launched in 2007 and has seen global success with many award wins and several million licences being shipped by more than 15 device manufacturers. SPB Software has also joined open industry standard, Symbian Foundation, to ensure its applications for Symbian OS are at the forefront of what its users want.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 for Symbian Main Features:

Multiple customizable homescreens
