RealVista Desktop Mobile brings the Vista look to Nokia S60

realvista.jpgIf you are bored with the S60 interface of your Nokia there is a simple solution – get an iPhone!  No, not really (although this can work) what you could do instead is swap it out in favour of RealVista Desktop Mobile.

For all the carping and pained grimaces usually associated with using Windows Vista, one thing that most users agree on is that the interface is rather pretty – slick, shiny and impressive to watch.  While RealVista
can’t offer 3D task switching and transparent windows it does make a reasonable fist of an ‘Aero-like’ set of icons.

Applications and phone functions are split into categories and displayed with four large icons per ‘page.   The developer is aware of some Nokia N95 and N81 devices that can’t manage to run all apps via these icons, but reckons this is a firmware issue that should be fixable via an upgrade.

RealVista requires Flash Lite 2.1 and is available for free here.
