After the rocky start last September (the Beta Labs audience was a tough crowd), the Nseries PC Suite team digested your feedback, released a couple of significant updates, and now, it’s time to declare Nokia Nseries PC Suite 2.0 as graduated. Thanks everybody for your feedback, and a hats off to the team for the persistence!!
You can download the final version from Nokia Nseries Support site*. In addition, I understood that the app would be included in the sales package of many new Nokia Nseries devices.
Scoreboard: Graduates 3 - 2 Archive.
* = technically, it’s the same version as we have had at Beta Labs since 23 January.
Quick note: we just updated Nseries PC Suite 2.0 beta - download here.
Improvements all over the place.
Note: if you have an old version installed, please uninstall it manually before installing this new one.
Nseries PC Suite 2.0 beta is currently our most popular Beta Labs application, measured by the web traffic or by the number of downloads*. Now, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
If you have tried the application already, please go and fill in our Nseries PC Suite beta survey. If not, try the application first, and come back later to fill in the survey.
The survey shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to fill. And it would be extremely valuable for our Nseries PC Suite team and for Nokia’s future PC software development.
Many thanks in advance!!
* = some people have complained about sluggish download speeds from Nseries PC Suite web installer. Sorry about it. The team is currently investigating the situation, hope to get faster download speeds soon…
Nseries PC Suite 2.0 is back with a vengeance. During the last two months, the team has worked extra-hard, achieving significant improvements:
* Improved and more user-friendly installation: web installer - no need to download every time the whole package, only selected applications
* Nokia Photos integrated
* Single-click sync for more user-friendly synchronization
* Significantly improved stability
Download here. And please tell us what you think!!
Oh boy. Seems that we released Nokia Nseries PC Suite 2.0 for public beta testing too early in the development. The initial feedback was quite devastating: for highlights, see comments at my blog, All About Symbian, Symbian Guru, IntoMobile, and Antony’s Mobile Blog.
We heard you.
I just had a chat with the Nseries PC Suite team, and we decided to withdraw the software from Nokia Beta Labs for the time being. We are grateful for everybody who sent us feedback, and deeply sorry for inconvenience.
Let’s continue the beta testing after a month or so, when the software is more mature.

Write your thoughts either (a) to the feedback form or (b) to the comments section of this post. Everything goes directly and unfiltered to the R&D team.
Symbian-Freak was quick to notice that we (almost) launched Nokia Nseries PC Suite 2.0 in Nokia Beta Labs.
Just as we had published it, however, I got a call from the R&D team, and they recommended postponing the launch until later this week, when they get a better version ready. So I decided to take the page down. There’s a delay before the main page gets updated, so there’ll be a dead link for a while.
Oh well. I hope this kind of hassle is acceptable in Beta Labs context. We’ll deliver a better beta package as soon as possible.
Sorry for inconvenience.
