microUSB marches on, Symbian theme, Horizon app store launches

Published by Steve Litchfield at 13:18 UTC, November 3rd 2009

It's.... another compendium of interesting links that I really wanted to flag up for attention here. Firstly, the ITU (the telecoms bit of the UN) has joined the American CTIA in agreeing on microUSB as the cable standard for phones for the future. Note that most Symbian-powered phones already use this. Secondly, there's a new, official Symbian Foundation theme (screenshot and d/l link below), which I'm determined to try out. Finally, Symbian's Horizon app-recommendation programme has gone live and is worth bookmarking.

Here's the Symbian Foundation theme download. Screenshot below:

It installed first time here. Try downloading it again?

It's really a rather splendid theme, despite my usual dislike of custom icon sets....

Very nice theme! Works perfectly on my 5800... makes it look almost new. Just need a bit of kinetic scrolling now ;-)

I really love the symbian foundation theme, except because it has a very small customized icon support, nevertheles the background of the theme is just awesome, the colors, I wish I could have it as a "default icon theme" same as Steve, I would be using it as my main theme, because in my white n97 is awesome!
