Nokia Belle has arrived officially!



Yup, no more leaked versions. This time it’s official. Have a look at the picture above showing the Belle update available [Product Code India] in Nokia Suite v3.3 (Download Nokia Suite) Have a look at the screenshot below:



Also have a look at this new Symbian Belle video uploaded by Nokia

also a tutorial video from Nokia regarding updating to Belle:

Note: It shows the Nokia 500 and hence Nokia 500 users can be sure they are getting the Nokia Belle!


Symbian Belle was available in Q4 2011 as the firmware shipped with the 2nd Generation Symbian^3 phones which were the Nokia 701, Nokia 700 and Nokia 603. While the 1st Generation S63 devices like N8/E7/C7/x7/E6/C6-01/500 were still in Symbian Anna officially up til now. Now all users of these S^3 1st generation devices can update their firmware to Nokia Belle finally!


Nokia Belle? Well, my friends have installed it in his Nokia C7 already and it shill shows Symbian Belle (shown in Screenshots below)


BTW, There are currently a few number of widgets in this Belle release. The new widgets should be made available to the public via Software Update app availabe in your phone. We already saw such in case of Symbian Anna update (Update 1, Update 2 and Service Pack in Sw Update)


The currenly available Symbian Belle has the version number of v111.030.0609 which is the same as the version leaked a few months ago but has a different custom version. Custom version of the last leaked Belle available was v111.030.0609.0201 while this official Belle says v111.030.0609.C10.01 Hence, I request all the leaked Belle users to upgrade to the Original Nokia Belle update and provide us feedbacks


We have been waiting for Months for this Belle update and well, Nokia pushed the update from Q4 2011 to Feb 2012. Nokia Vietnam announced a date of Feb 8, 2012 and I am amazed that Nokia Belle update is available a day before it actually!


Symbian Anna is like a minor update when compared to Nokia Belle. In Nokia Belle, everything is smooth, everything is fast, and everything is easy to use. The whole UI is revamped and now looks somewhat like Meego. We also got a notification bar!  We got new (completely new) homescreens, a new Web browser, a new menu with integrated search and the list goes on and on! No doubt, Symbian has lot to go and this is proved by this Major Update. One thing that was outdated on Symbian was the UI and well, now? The Belle UI is very beautiful and most importantly very very usable on a touch screen. Had Nokia released the N8 with Symbian Belle at the first place, today would have a different story for Nokia. I can’t list all the features of Nokia Belle here as its a mega list but have a look at these screenshots!



Nokia Belle is one stunning piece of firmware that’s gonna change your Symbian^3 Phone for ever. All new looks and all new features and hence an all new phone!


For Advanced users:


Nokia Belle is also available via Navifirm



You can download it via navifirm and flash your device using Phoenix and you can refer to this Guide if you want to flash your device rather that updating via Nokia Suite


(This is risky and can damage your device permanently. If you don’t know what you are doing please do not try this method)


So, enjoy Nokia Belle and please do give us feedbacks. :)
