Nokia's (NOK) New Symbian Homescreen, NetQin Mobile

Over in China, Nokia (NYSE:NOK) has been detailing more of its device-related plans including a quick glimpse at a possible version of the overhauled Symbian UI.

Although Nokia's new deal with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) means that Symbian won't get the same level of attention that it's accustomed to, Nokia has promised upgrades for existing devices.

The new homescreen shows a number of widgets, including weather, inbox and what look like floating browser and Facebook shortcuts.

The inbox seems to have just about been dragged into the 21st century, having done away with the awful '90s-style Nokia font and incorporating more interactive contact images on the homescreen.

Separately, Mobile security services provider NetQin Mobile Inc said today that its Mobile Manager software is pre-loaded into the Nokia E7 mobile phone.

NetQin Mobile Manager, a productivity management app, is built to help business people better manage their calls, text messages and private data. It features an advanced spam filter engine and also empowers users to set a blacklist and the rejection mode to decide whose call will be blocked and how the phone will reject the caller in a nice way.
