Symbian Belle coming February 2012 for Thailand?

As far as we heard, Symbian Belle was going to start availability from Q4 onwards. Remember we joked about whether that meant Q4 2012.

This was confirmed during the launch and during the Q&A about the new Belle phones when asked specifically regarding updates for earlier Symbian devices.

We have 3 and a bit weeks left or 25 days of Q4. Do you think Symbian Belle is going to appear in that time?

Indications seem to be that it might not arrive and as far as Nokia Thailand is concerned, we’ve received some information to suggest this might be the case. I would be quite weary on posting as I’m not fully able to disclose this source and details and also indicate any concerns, but but I had some other other ‘information’ from another source that I trust that indicated this might be the case (of a no show Q4) some months back. Odd though that Belle keeps coming on and off on Navifirm. Perhaps tests are still ongoing?

Do you reckon it’s just part of a staggered update and that Thailand is just later on the list or is the whole update delayed? It wouldn’t be the first time a software update doesn’t appear on time.

Looking at some positives, Nokia has at least delivered the new Symbian Belle phones, 701 and 700 in time.

Cheers anonymous for the tip.
