Enhanced Calculator for S60 updated and archived in one fell swoop

by Darren Murph posted Dec 24th 2008 at 7:57AM

Remember that super swank number cruncher that Nokia was working up for the Symbian S60 platform back in August? Welp, she's reached the end of her road, as they say. According to an update on the Beta Labs website, the Enhanced Calculator for S60 has seen its final wave of tweaks which make it fully compatible with the N96 (among other things). Curiously, Nokia is also announcing that the project is being archived (though it's still available for download), noting that it learned that "it wasn't feasible to productize." Instead, Nokia has enlisted a proper R&D team that will eventually "result in an improved built-in calculator for future Nokia devices." Hmm, maybe they're referring to something such as this?

Lotta work going on for something that I usually use to figure out how many feet it'll take to paint a wall. New calc was way better than the old. It was basically an S40 ported to S60.

Hey endgadget, just to make some cleariaty in the article. The app has graduated in the sense it will pass on to the R&D team for future porting, an archived for current users to download. The same was done with location tagger. Its available built in on all new models, but still available for older models to download an install.
Just taught to inform ya guys :)
