Dear Nokia Beta Labs community members,
We’ve come a long way since our humble beginnings in 2007, in large part
due to your enthusiasm and eager participation in our beta trials. Thank you
for that! Now, please join us in preparing for the next chapter.
Beginning this month we will start hosting all new beta trials for Lumia apps
at a new site, based on services provided by UserVoice. You can preview that
site at
http://lumiabetaapps.uservoice.com
That site will be the new home for beta trials for Lumia apps. There you will
find info about ongoing trials, instructions to install beta apps, and notes
about app features and known issues. And for each beta app there is a
feedback forum where you can give feedback about the apps, vote on others’
feedback, and interact with the teams developing the apps.
Trialing beta apps with passionate lead users remains a key phase of our
product development and helps us to build better products. By switching to a
new site built on the UserVoice service we focus on what’s most important –
gathering feedback and interacting with people testing our apps, like you. At
the same time the end-to-end experience of participating in beta trials
should become simpler.
The Nokia Beta Labs site that is now available at
http://betalabs.nokia.comwill be discontinued on September 5,
2014, and all links to the betalabs.nokia.com domain will redirect to the new
site. All content hosted at the Nokia Beta Labs site will no longer be available
after the site is discontinued. However, many of the trials ongoing now at
Nokia Beta Labs will continue at the new site and you will be able to continue
giving feedback and interacting there. For example:
Nokia Camera beta
Nokia Chat powered by Yahoo! beta
App Social beta
Nokia Conference beta
You can find more info about this change posted on the new site, including a
tutorial about
how the new site works. We’ll post more information to both
sites as we prepare for the switchover. Additionally, you’re welcome to
follow
us on Twitter to stay up to date on all news and alerts related to our beta trials.
