[ Edited ]

Unfortunately, it appears that somebody jumped the gun a little. We have checked with the software update team responsibile for preparing the roll-out of Belle to existing Symbian^3 devices and there has not been any plan to begin during next week. Current information is still, as has been previously stated, that the roll-out of Belle will begin during February.

The official word from Nokia is:

 


We have already shipped Nokia 603, 700 and 701 with Nokia Belle earlier this year, and have received great feedback on the new user experience. We have also started shipping new versions of Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01 with Nokia Belle preinstalled. To make Nokia Belle available to consumers globally, we will start rolling out Nokia Belle for the already existing Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, Nokia Oro, Nokia E6, and Nokia 500 smartphones in February 2012.


 

And it is not true that the software is released in alpha-numerical order by model name. Software updates depend the phone product code, meaning that some regional, country and network variants may be released sooner or later than others - so don't worry, Stanely08, if you have an N8 or an X7 you are not at the back of the queue on the basis of your device model.

Nokia has responded via twitter as well that the roll out does not start out next week as stated earlier... It was a mistake.

I guess some more days to go till belle release won't hurt Nokia users that much but belle release in first week of February would be nice

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

Okay thanks for clearing this MichealS bro. Bytheway, i own the best of the crop! -The E6 :smileyvery-happy:. Looking forward to receiving Belle on my Nokia E6 especially since even v025.007 was NEVER released for my region or product code 059F1G5 RM-609. So i'm still stuck with the Keyboard light bug on v022.014.

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

And can anybody confirm whether the belle update be available via OTA? Read in one of the forums that it will solely be available via Nokia suite. Can Michaels confirm it?

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

I think it's worth pointing out that as far as I've seen, Nokia have never said "first week". They've said February. That means Feb 29 would still be a valid time.

 

I hope people don't start screaming bloody murder if Belle isn't available in the first weeks of February...

From February onwards means we still have nothing to complain about even if it comes out in July.

Is Belle really worth all this anticipation anyway? If Anna came with my phone from the beginning, I wouldn't have even heard of Belle.

Timkamat and vidyutx, tho i don't work at Nokia, nor can i say that i'm 100% sure, i strongly believe the update will be 'Strictly' via Ovi Suite...because its like changing an operating system. Thanks.

Even Anna was a major update which was around 250MB on Nokia suite.While on OTA it was some 26MB with additional updates of about 80MB or so. So what prevents update via OTA?

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

All i keep praying for is dat Nokia should not release 'Exactly' how the leaked ones are. If Nokia does release the buggy OS's we saw in the Leaks, dat will even be worst!

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

If I understood one thing correctly, the upgrade to Belle would force a full clearing of your memory. So it is a more major upgrade than Anna was. And because of the full wipe of the phone, the OTA might not be a possible option. I read somewhere, that the upgrade to Belle would imply a backup, clean install of the phone, and then a restore to get your stuff back on the phone after the upgrade.

Yes, kinda! I know that those who updated to the 'LEAKED' Belle, still had some of their widgets even after upgrade...

Re: Nokia Belle coming next week??

I would definitely not even consider what has occurred with so-called leaked versions as being what we all get. If Anna was anything to go by it would also not surprise me if Nokia did force a ovi/nokia suite only update. 

 

You have to remember that carriers will have requirements that Nokia will need to comply with, so leaked versions obviously do not cater for these requirments, so at the very least Belle will be different due to the carrier requests, not to mention any extra changes that have been put in place, since the leaked version.

 

Also some carriers may request that updates only be allowed a certain way, as what was seen with anna, where for some customers they could only get anna thru OTA or only thru ovi suite.

 

Although based on the anna experience it certainly appeared that for many a full update has less issues than an update using OTA.

 

I would also see that nokia would also be releasing based on when a carrier gives approval just like last time. So some place will certainly get belle before other places.
