A beta version of Nokia Notification was released on betalabs today. I have been using this all of 10 minutes on an N97 and I like it and it is definitely a keeper. It revives a feature that used to be on some of the older S40 phones where you can see the details of the missed call or sms before you open it. Why this feature was removed from the latest smartphones confounds me.
The beta installs to the phone memory and takes up around 221kb, which isn't too bad. I presume the commercial release will give have the option to install to mass storage/memory card.
To the left, you see a small box with a counter showing you how many events you've missed and to the right you have 2 rows displaying the 2 latest missed events, who they were from and time. If you have more than 2 missed items, you have to tap to see the rest. You also have the option to delete items before you read them. Very nice for spam.
All in all, it is a very nice utility to have and one that should find it's way into firmware updates and new models.
