Video: Nokia Belle Update – same phone, new experience (sorry, no laser guns :p)
Here’s a great video from Nokia to tell their users about the Nokia Belle update. With the same phone you get a totally new experience with Belle. I have it, and I totally agree. Gone are most of the annoyances from S^3/Anna, for the most part, it’s really great to use. I’ll give mine a [...]
Gallery: Nokia N8 with Official Nokia Belle
Here’s a bunch of photos I’ve taken of the Nokia N8 with Nokia Belle. If there’s any particular portion anyone’s missed out I can add it later. BTW, I can’t check the version number when doing *#0000#. N8 just freezes :s. Currently having problem with the gallery stuck on refreshing media. What does the [...]

I have the Official Nokia Belle update :D Nokia Belle available through Nokia Suite :D
Ah, something a lot of you can say today, “I have the Official Nokia Belle update”. Many of you have been commenting that you’ve actually got it today. I wasn’t expecting anything until tomorrow but surprise surprise it’s there. I’m guessing a lot of us have been skeptical as to whether Nokia would deliver it [...]

If you go on Nokia Mexico’s site, you will notice that they have some instructions for updating to Symbian Belle/Nokia Belle, with the N8 as the demo device. http://www.nokia.com.mx/aplicaciones-mapas-y-mas/nokiabelle There aren’t any dates here but it does look like the Nokia Vietnam Belle update page that disappeared. DM who tipped this in also has a [...]

Lumia 800 to be released in KSA soon?
If any of you guys are following me on twitter (doubt it ) you’l know that I’ve had some serious issues with the micro-USB port on my N8; where cables hardly connect except after hours of fiddling and then I must stay deathly still cause the slightest movement disconnects the cable (for the record the USB port wasn’t great [...]
Screenshots (Skype for Nokia Belle) #Symbian (expected Q1 2012)
We received an email from Srikanth (Thanks!) who shared some screenshots of Skype on Symbian Belle. Not sure how you guys can get this but Rahul tipped in (cheers) of a thread at Nokia discussion forum where a Nokia staff said as an update for Belle devices, Skype might appear Q1 2012. http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Skype-for-701/m-p/1243307#M24784 Thank you Srikanth and [...]

Here’s a new project from the Nokia developers page, it’s a Nokia Beta Labs app, a nice little client to get all your Beta Labs goodies. This has been tested on the Nokia 701, C7, E7 and N8 so far. There are two versions of the app available, the Qt Quick one lacking the homescreen [...]
Nokia Carla also on Nokia E7 and Nokia 701 v112.010.0404
After the story of a Nokia Carla sighting at Nokia Developer forums (with E6) a few of you checked it out to confirm testing and bug list being compiled for Carla (At least as indicated by the thread titles). Here’s another recent screenshot that shows that same Nokia Carla v112.010.0404 tested on the Nokia 701. [...]
Nokia Carla in bug testing (with Belle) for Nokia E6 #Symbian
Apparently the Nokia developer site bugs page, some folks are already testing out the Nokia Carla update (which dsmobile says is like Belle, but nicer). The link is inaccessible unless you have an account with Nokia Developer. Since we can’t get in to check there might be some doubt as to whether this is real. [...]
Video: Finnish Darth Vader and Lightsaber app for Symbian (Nokia Lumia-testaaja)
I’ve seen seeing a lot of Finnish videos titled ”Nokia Lumia-testaaja” so I’m guessing there’s some kind of competition to test a Nokia Lumia? (Google likes to translate it as Snow tester). More info on that seems to be here: http://aani.nokia.fi/2012/01/12/sinustako-nokia-lumia-testaaja/ One of the entries (Which Nokia Suomi commented on) shows a Finnish Darth Vader and [...]
Widget update: Dynamic email widgets for Nokia Belle
DKM has a screenshot of the Microsoft Business App widget, one of many new features available with the update he originally shared here as well as some dynamic email icon widgets in the updated email app. That wallpaper looks especially nice. For tips with images, like DKM and co, you can send them to tips@mynokiablog.com (or tip [...]
Where’s the Nokia Belle coming soon page gone at Nokia Vietnam’s site?
This was pointed out a few times in comments and emails, but the Official Belle page that said it was coming 8th February to existing S^3/Anna devices has now disappeared. It could have just been moved somewhere else but I’m yet to find the moved page. Original Link: http://www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw Cached page http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:YQcMf1bsTbgJ:www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw+http://www.nokia.com.vn/belle/sw&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk It could be [...]
Microsoft Lync, One Note and Office available for Belle?
First, I am not sure this is the case but the tipster is a regular one so I’m trusting that this was the case for them. Apparently upon connecting the Nokia 701 through Nokia Suite, the Microsoft apps promised for Symbian Belle that we heard about in September became available today as an update. [...]
Official: Nokia Belle coming on 8th February 2012 (to Vietnam). #Symbian
Now I’m not sure about everywhere else, Nokia most likely will try to get a close to a global release as they can but at least there is a confirmed date somewhere. Mark this in your diaries. 8th February 2012. That’s on time based on the official Nokia Belle update dates (though not if we [...]
Over half a billion Symbian phones sold?
Following the stats of S40 reaching 1.5 BILLION, Steve Litchfield from AAS got to thinking, how much Symbian phones have been sold to date? This was passed last Autumn apparently. Whilst this isn’t just Nokia, I would have thought that since Nokia does make up a significant bulk of Symbian, it makes the other sellers [...]
Nokia E7 on BBC’s Hustle, Mickey makes upside down call with N8.
In this week’s episode of the BBC’s Hustle, there’s more Nokia sightings as usual. This time, with the Nokia E7 up the top there. The Nokia N8 also makes an appearance, but unfortunately, Mickey seems to take the call upside down :S. Holding the right way up first… Now he’s making an upside down phone [...]
