Nokia N8 - Homescreen

OKEY... Today is almost 3 months since i got my Nokia N8. I like the smartphone because it has different taste (to me) - Symbian^3 - well it is not flawless but it is not bad either and i am expecting that Nokia will provide us - the N8 Users - with new Software Update! Nokia N8 comes with 3 built-in homescreens and it is manageable, it means you can use all the 3 homescreens or use 1 or 2 and delete the others and you can bring all the deleted homescreens back to your phone, very simple.

I read some articles from forums in internet about N8, i found out that if we use all the homescreen it will drop your battery very fast. Well it is true! to me, i have to recharge my battery at least 2 times a day because not only i am using all the homescreens but also i am using many applications online and offline. Helloooo... i am using a smartphone here and with the support of unlimited data package that is why i want to use all the benefits that it offers in it.

Let's go back to our main issue here... well it is not an issue actually :) . Like i have mention before, i am using all the homescreens and manage all useful widgets in each homescreen based on the need to support my days.

Homescreen #1
Here, i put the basic needs of a smartphone as a phone! It means that i have to put widgets / icons that's showing time, contacts, messages, notifications, etc. I forgot to say that 1 homescreen could consist of 6 widgets. So, in the homescreen #1 i put :
1. Time Widget
2. SPB Weather Widget
3. Favorite Contacts Widget
4. Shortcuts Widget (Shortcuts of Menu, Application, Office and File Manager)
5. Shortcuts Widget (Shortcuts of Contacts, Messaging, Best Smartphoneware of Task Manager and Melon Answering Machine)
6. Notification Widget


Homescreen #2
I am using homescreen #2 to support my work, hobby and my social network :) . So, in the homescreen #2 i put :
1. Shortcuts Widget (Shortcuts of Fring, Nimbuzz, Imichat and Foursquare)
2. Nokia Social Widget
3. E-mail Widget
4. Search Widget
5. Nokia Reader Widget
6. Music Player Widget


Homescreen #3
I like to take pictures with my N8 and i dedicate my last homescreen as a digital frame of my pictures so instead of using widgets in homescreen #3, i would rather to put pictures as the wallpaper so i can see it as a digital frame :) .  I change the picture everyday or everytime i need to.

Well, that's it guys... now you know my N8 homescreens :) , what about your N8 homescreens?
