Nokia Beta Labs updated design: New. Blue. You.
Like the trials that we host, Nokia Beta Labs itself is always trying to improve based on the feedback from the community and from developers running trials here. Today, we have unveiled a new "look" for our site, designed to make the experience of participating in beta trials more personal and more enjoyable. Thanks for your patience during today's service break.
New. Blue. You.
First, we've cleaned up the not-signed-in homepage dramatically to clarify to any first-time visitors what we're about and what kinds of trials we host here.

Beta Labs feedback survey results summarized
It's time to reveal the results of the survey done last month. I'm happy to say we got over 600 responses, so the results are quite a representative selection. The results are clearly positive. Looking back at the conclusions 8 months ago, the work done since and the survey results now, our team is confident our actions had a positive impact.
