Crack open the bubbly and bring on the dancing girls because our favourite Nokia apps website celebrated its first birthday yesterday. In typically modest style, the boys at Beta Labs kept the anniversary low key, hence the belated tribute. Look, we’ve never been good at remembering birthdays – just ask out mums.

It’s been a storming year for Beta Labs, having rolled out 18 app launches, attracted one million page views, 200,000 downloads and built up a buzzing Nokia community of likeminded Symbianoids with thousands of comments and helpful feedback registered each month. The boffs at Beta Labs have done a bang-up job answering ours and your questions. We salute you.

NokNok has fed off Nokia Beta Lab’s many apps and software gems and we hope to continue plundering your mobile wares for years to come. So let us raise a glass and toast this cracking site!
