Social widget is now huge.

Why is it so big now? It takes up nearly half a home screen. I'm using facebook summary now but I have to click on it rather than just glancing at what's going on with the narrow widget info of my friends updates.

 

If you're happy with the narrow social widget for that reason then don't update, also if you're not into this fat Belle widget thing Nokia seems to have going.

 

There's a difference between giving us the option to have more home screens to actually forcing us to use them. Nokia, you're winding me up.

 

With Anna I had one home screen, now I need 3. Less is more.

Hey ... you're right. Just updated. I actually like it a lot. I have the summary on my home screen and the scrollable social widget on the secondary. I think its a huge improvement. . JUST NEED THE RSS WIDGET NOW, NOKIA!! :smileyhappy: I'd actually like the old 2 line email widget back too.

Re: Social widget is now huge.

For me it's rubbish and another annoyingly large widget. I liked Anna for the small neat widgets. I use to run all what I needed off of one home screen, now I need 3.  Why is this better? Like I said, Nokia gave us more home screens because you're forced to use them for the over sized widgets,

 

I'm not sure if just having one home screen allowed me to save power, but my N8 seems to run out quite quickly. Even when I close down all my apps and so on.
