Nokia's Beta development teams do seem to be working in parallel to a degree. With the launch of FriendView, their Chat extension to Contacts has now been updated to BETA 4, adding friend profile pictures on its maps, plus you can also now make calls from that view.

I find myself returning to FV every day, while chat is barely opened once weekly.

- FV has a nice to look at interface.
