Nokia Beta labs have relased Nokia Communication Center

and has updated following applications

Nokia Communication Center

This new concept replaces four existing Nokia PC Suite features – Nokia Phone Browser, Nokia Text Message Editor, Nokia Contacts Editor, and Nokia Multimedia Factory – with one simple solution.

This is an early release with the following features:

Create and send messages easily
Receive, view, forward, and reply to messages as they arrive
Compose multimedia messages effortlessly with easy access to the images on both PC and device
Manage messages, and sort and group them to quickly find what you are looking for
Display all your messages in a timeline
Manage all the contacts stored on your device
Add new contacts with ease
Create contact cards complete with thumbnail images
Depending upon the feedback Beta Labs receives, this will be integrated into the upcoming PC Suite versions.

Known Issues:

1) Opening unread message might crash application.
2) Export/Import functionality might not work correctly.
3) MMS management/sending might not work correctly.

Nokia Text Messenger

The application fetches you the latest text messages from your connected Nokia device. Naturally, the latest messages are displayed first.

A gadget for Windows Vista, Nokia Text Messenger comes in two different sizes. If you want to place the application in your Windows Sidebar, you can opt for Nokia Text Messenger in a smaller size. The sidebar gadget lets you view three text messages at a time.

If you want Nokia Text Messenger in a slightly larger size, you can have it floating freely on your desktop. In this case, text messages can be browsed in groups of five.

Location Tagger

With Nokia Location Tagger, you can automatically tag your location data to your pictures. As you take a picture, your GPS coordinates are saved to the EXIF header of the JPEG file. You can use this data later, for example, to locate your pictures on a map.

In the near future, we hope to make location tagging a seamlessly integrated part of your Nokia experience. Until then, Nokia Location Tagger is a small standalone application that gives you a sneak preview. We are not planning to productize this application as such, but we’d love to hear your thoughts already now, so that we have time to take it into account in the mainstream development

Known Issues:
1)The pictures from secondary camera are not tagged. Nokia Location Tagger tags pictures from the main camera only.
2)In a very rare case, Nokia Location Tagger may not be able to tag picture with the error message "File is being used".
3)Pictures captured in burst mode may not be displayed in order in the Logs tab.
4)This version has been tested on N95, N82, E90 as well as N73, N81 with external GPS module (Nokia LD-4W). It should work on all other devices; but there is no guarantee at this point.
