Nokia to fix net nag screens

Finally!

One of my biggest bugbears with my Nokia N95 is that all the lovely apps I use to access the internet constantly ask me if I am really sure that I want them to access the ‘net via wifi or 3G.

How many times do you need to be told?!?! I can understand the security implications of not being asked, and when trying out new software it is good to know that an errant app isn’t going to burn up all my data tariff.

Nokia has announced that it is finally going to sort things out. Signed apps will able to carry permissions that will allow them to access your phone’s data connection (subject to your initial approval) and unsigned (e.g. Java) apps can have partial permissions granted by the user.

Nokia will roll out the changes to new 3rd edition FP 2 devices, and is looking at ways to provide the update to some older phones too.
