Nokia Belle update finally starts reaching Symbian handsets today

After a long wait, Nokia Belle, the second major update to Symbian^3, starts rolling out to handsets today, Nokia announced in its official blog. The update finally makes Symbian look much more like a contemporary operating system with matching visuals, 6 home screens, a new drop down menu a la Android, neat widgets with a huge clock a la HTC Sense, better maps and plenty of other novelties.

Functionality is also improved, with faster browser with a cleaner UI, imaging applications supporting 720p video recording at 30fps and simpler menus. A couple of Microsoft apps like Lync and OneNote will also soon be made available.

The Nokia Symbian Belle update is available now for the following models:

Nokia N8,
Nokia E7,
Nokia E6,
Nokia X7,
Nokia C6-01,
Nokia C7,
or Nokia Oro.

The only handset that will need to wait a bit is the Nokia 500. Nokia Belle will be available for it in the coming weeks.

The update is available in pretty much all major Nokia markets - in Europe that’s the UK, Russia, Germany, etc. As to the updating process itself, it’s pretty straightforward, and there’s even a step by step guide at Nokia’s official blog, so hit it below to get the instructions and let us know how it all went in the comments below.

I wonder why some fools come on Nokia's thread to hate. If you dislike Symbian, then STFU! No one cares, can you mention any top mid-range Android phone that can beat any of those listed Symbian phones in fluidity, design, durability, or graphical processing power? It's a Symbian News for those that like/use Symbian, quit the childish act!

I wonder if we gotta wait for T-Mobile to release it for the C7 Astound like they did for Anna

It's a big step forward for those Symbian users who can upgrade to it. If only this came out a year ago, Nokia wouldn't have had to go the Windows Phone route.
