Nokia Mobile Communities, which as you may recall is the Finnish company’s attempt to bring social networking services to low-end feature phones, has been updated for users in India. The new version of the application packs several important updates, including:
- Simplified registration flow
- Ability to share streams and specific posts
- View posts for a specific stream
- Receive search results directly on the stream wall
- User settings to control charge notifications, location sharing and message history added
- Some bug fixes
If you want to install the new version, the previous release must be uninstalled as underlying data structures have been changed. Unfortunately, that may cause you to lose old chat messages and stream posts, but the app will synchronize your conversation groups and streams so that any new activity on either is not impacted.
Additionally, new features made the application slower, though not users (I guess those with a bit better phones) shouldn’t experience serious performance issues.
If you’re interested, you can download the application from here. Alternatively, those with working mobile data connection (GPRS, EDGE or 3G) can text “nmc” to 55555 to receive the download link to their phone.
