New Version Of The Store QML Client
For Symbian Devices Available For Download

The good folks from Nokia Beta Labs released a new version of the new QML based Store client application for Symbian devices today.

QML Store version 3.18.036 provides some fixes to issues that have been reported by the Nokia Beta Labs community and also prepares for some new features that will be deployed on the Store backend soon.

This beta Store client will replace the current Store client on your Symbian^3 or Symbian Anna device, and it supports nearly all of the features as the official Store client (Web Runtime).

Store QML client is curently available for the following devices: Nokia C6-01, C7-00, C7 Astound, E7-00, N8-00, X7-00.

The key new features this client brings include:

• The Nokia Store backend has been updated on 03.11.2011 and this release of the client is fully integrated with the backend release
• Fixed: ‘Debug’ option in the client has been removed. This was meant for the R&D team. Sorry for the confusion
• Solved: Purchase option for Symbian Belle users
• Theme Pack (Gift Package) feature is available for Nokia C7 users
  • This feature will offer a collection of premium applications at no costs to the selected users for a period of time, e.g. 30 days
  • In the Store application, the users will see the Theme Pack banner on the home view. Upon clicking on the banner, they will be linked to the Theme Pack collection

Once you try it, please share your thoughts, submit bugs or suggestion reports in the forum.  And make sure to rate your client experience by answering the NPS question in the client under My Stuff -> Give us your feedback.

Thank you for your participation and contribution. Your feedback helps us to improve this new version of Store client.
