Symbian Belle Release Rumour

According to various reports, the much awaited Symbian Belle update will not be available untill early 2012. This comes as a surprise as there are already leaked versions for N8 and C7, with Belle Shipped with the newer symbian smartphones.
So all those people who have S^3 phones like me, will have to wait it out.

I'm sorry, here i was thinking we were all buying cool phones like the N8 and the E7 (in my case), because we wanted a cool phone to make phone calls on, that happened to be able to run some cool apps, and play music, receive emails etc.
I was obviously so mistaken, it never occured to me that you all buy your cool phone JUST so that you can update the firmware. How silly of me.
Whoever believes you have a right to an update, think again, you dont. Nokia kindly give us updates because they want to, not because someone demands one, not because they have to, but because they want to. Yes there are financial reasons for them to do it, like brand loyalty etc but no law says they have to.
Other phones quite often get 1 update a year, the makers support the phone for a few years and then they stop. no more updates. Nokia already support their phones longer than most other manufacturers, they have more models than any other manufacturer. But even so one day there will come a time when your phone will no longer be eligible for updates. but I guess some of you will complain then as well.
I've said this before if your phone doesnt work for some reason take it to Nokia to have fixed, dont expect that an update will fix your issue. I read threads before Anna was released saying how certain peoples phone werent working and they demanded Anna "because that would fix the problem" These same people are now complaining saying they demand Belle to be released because they need it to fix their problems. You know i bet it doesnt.
Belle is just a firmware, it will look better, perhaps, it may run faster, perhaps, it may even do something that Anna cant do. But honestly its not gone change anything for you in your life. Demanding Belle to be released is not going to make Nokia release it any faster, trying to compare it to something that is not an official release is not even reasonable, not to mention that its not even legal in many countries under local communications laws to use such firmware on networks, that it hasnt been approved on.
Some of you have said that updates took to long to be released and that it was over 12 months before you got an update for your N8. This may be the case in your country, but this also may not have been Nokia fault, If a carrier doesnt approve an update then the carrier is at fault, Nokia has to obey the laws of that country no matter what.
Belle will be released when it is ready and not before. There are very good reasons why Nokia do not give dates for releases. One of the most important reasons is Carriers, Nokia has no idea of whether or not a carrier will approve a release or even how long they will take to give the go ahead on a release.
The next of course is getting the firmware ready for all the different handset that it is design for. Some carriers wont allow certain functions , so they have to be removed or blocked. This can then case a flow on effect to some other piece of firmware which is totally unintended, meaning that it no longer works properly, so then they have to redeign it.
These are only just a couple of things that can go wrong, and is part of a normal day in the world of code writing. Be glad that Nokia want to continue support for your phones. But also understand that the decision to allow a piece of firmware to be released is not Nokia's alone.
Whether its released this year or early next, it really is not going to change you much. So dont waste your time whinging and complaining about the fact that it hasnt been released and start looking forward to the day that it will be released. Trust me you will all feel better.
I can say 1 thing here whther or not this paulip person works for Nokia or not. I can afford to buy a new phone every year outright, E7 cost for than that here is Australia and I have bought 2 of them this year outright. when the E90 was released I paid over $1400 AUD for it. But even though these phones are costing more than many other phones here is OZ, I still wouldnt buy a different brand of phone, not at this point in time anyway, and certainly not for such a silly reason as an update.
I also find it a bit hard to accept that Belle has only just left alpha, mainly due to what we have seen to date. If he had said it had left Beta and is an RC then I agree. Unfortunately I didnt get to read his comments, only what has been commented on here.

  • Nokia E7.00 Symbian Belle release date?

    I was wondering then will Symbian Belle™ be available for dowloading in to Nokia E 7.00?
    I have been seeing posts on Nokia official site like: "Belle available for new phones N8, E7..etc" but when I connect it tu Nokia Suite it says " software is up to date".
    Can someone tell me when will it be available for dowload.
    p.s-personaly I be more glad to get Windows Mobile OS than "new tweaked symbian".  

    check availability of Nokia belle at the belle availability page of Nokia Europe's website for your product code and region. If you want windows phone os, then you'll have to buy a new phone with windows phone. You cannot get it in wot existing phone. :-)

  • Disappointed with Symbian Belle! Pros vs Cons

    I accept that I'm probably in the minority here, as a lot of you seem to be banging on about how great Belle is, but I personally dislike it! In fact, I would go as far as saying I HATE Symbian Belle, after coming from Symbian Anna!
    First of all, I'd like to point out that I do appreciate the good points of Belle. I like the fact that they finally sorted out a few issues which plagued earlier Symbian^3 versions. However, some of the major issues seem to have been left unchecked, whilst I feel other aspects have been changed unnecessarily.
    After 15 months of owning a Nokia N8, I kind of expected all of the bugs to have been worked out by now, but it seems that 15 months later we are still complaining about many of the issues which we complained about on day one!
    I could also live with some of the minor annoyances I have found with Belle, but some are just so frustrating that I often wonder why the hell they decided to change it, especially when it didn't need to be changed in the first place! The clock and the music player homescreen widget are two such features I feel didn't need to be altered, yet they did so anyway just for the sake of it...
    After just 24 hours of updating to Belle, I've decided that if I can't find a way back to Anna (I hear that a Nokia service centre can perform the downgrade), then I'm getting rid of my N8. As much as I love my N8 to bits, I cannot live with it with an interface that I am unhappy with, especially when Anna felt like second nature to me! My beloved handset has been altered, and this is no longer the phone I sent the last 15 months using
    Here's what I like about Belle:
    * Extra homescreens - For me, three was always plenty, but I can see why other people would prefer to have more. However, it would be nice to have three as the default, rather than four, as I am left with an unused screen which is unnecessary for my use
    * The ability to rearrange homescreen widgets more freely - I like this feature, and it's something I initially thought was going to be a feature of Symbian^3 when the N8 was first released. Being able to finally place shortcuts anywhere on the screen is very useful, and more intuitive than having to have rows of four
    * The dropdown menu - This is a nice touch, and puts all of the most important on / off features in one place (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth etc). However, I wish that this was a one-touch operation, rather than a touch & flick gesture
    * Speed - General transitions and navigation are so much more faster now! As it should have been to begin with...
    Anything else which I like (like the faster browser and vertical QWERTY keyboard) are throwbacks from Anna, so I won't mention them here as they don't relate directly to Belle
    Here's a list of the things I dislike about Belle:
    * Redesigned homescreen widgets - Was there really any need to redesign the primary homescreen widgets, such as the clock / calendar / profile menu group, and music player? On Anna, these were nice neat little widgets which occupied two rows between them - Now the music player widget takes up half the screen, and the clock / calendar / profile group has been disbanded into separate widgets which all take up extra space! Why was this necessary?
    * Redesigned digital clock - I don't like the new-look digital clock on the homescreen, and I especially don't like the new screensaver digital clock! At least give us a choice of Anna / Belle designs, so we can choose which one we prefer! I much prefer the original screensaver clock design, and I would rather have the original clock / calendar / profile menu group back in place of separate widgets for each!
    * The new text messaging interface - More specifically, the text messaging menu. For some reason, Nokia have assumed that everybody texts using the Conversations feature, and has relegated everything else to a secondary menu option to show the various text message folders. To me this is a big no-no! I like to be organised, but I don't want to keep having to switch to folder view whenever I want to manage my texts, especially when this used to be the default view when I hit the text messaging button!
    * New navigation icons and icon locations - Using Belle has become a cryptic guessing game! Navigation icons seem to have been moved around, and the icons changed. More time is spent deciphering what the icons are and what they do, rather than being quick and easy. For a Symbian newcomer, I'm sure they'll pick it up easily, but for a Symbian veteran coming from Symbian^3 / Anna to Belle, they just cause confusion! I'm scared to touch a new icon in case it does something undesired!
    * Lack of default application folders - I know, I know, there's the ability to create folders, but who the hell decided that removing default application folders was a good idea in the first place? All of my nicely organised applications have been scattered into one main group! Again, for what logistical reason?
    * Headphones no longer work - Like many people, I prefer to use my own choice of headphones, rather than those basic ones that come bundled with the N8. However, after updating to Belle, I find that my headphones no longer work! The sound is not diverted to the 3.5mm jack, and music just plays through the device speaker rather than the headphones which are plugged in. I tried them out on other devices, and they work fine, and they worked fine before I updated to Belle, so this is obviousy an issue which needs to be addressed
    * Homescreen wallpaper pictures obscured by navigation bar - Previously, the pictures I use as my homescreen wallpapers fit nicely between the navigation bar along the bottom, and the info bar along the top. With Belle this is no longer the case, where the picture is extended, and these two bars obscure the image below (the navigation bar happens to be semi-transparent, but that's beside the point)
    * Application screen button right above the physical button - I honestly don't see the point in having a button in the bottom left corner which does the exact same thing as the physical button on the N8 which is situated directly below it.
    * Profile ordering - On previous Symbian handsets, and also previously with Symbian^3 / Anna, it was possible to order your profiles however you wanted. There was also more than four default profiles. However, with Belle it seems that if you rename any of those first four, they retain their position, regardless of alphabetisation. For example, if you created a fifth profile called "Silent (Office)", it would appear in fifth place, rather than directly beneath "Silent" as you would expect
    * Renaming the default "Silent" profile conflicts with the dropdown menu function - If you rename the default "Silent" profile to something else (Ie, "Loud"), and also change the profile settings (such as turning the volume right up), then this renders the silence feature in the dropdown menu redundant! You can still select the "Silent" function from the dropdown menu, but it will activate / deactivate whatever profile occupies that second slot, regardless of whether you have it set as silent or something else
    * The camera interface - Once again, an example of moving icons when they didn't need to be moved! I used to find that the location of the various camera settings was perfect with Anna, but now they're all along the bottom. Why did they need to be moved? This is perhaps just nitpicking, and doesn't really bother me as much as other changes, but I see no reason why some things need to be changed for the sake of changing things!
    Things that needed to be fixed, and still haven't:
    * Calculator - In this day and age a smartphone should have an advanced calculator, similar to many hi-end scientific calculators. At the very least, a basic calculator shoud have a "clear screen" button! We shouldn't have to exit the application and relaunch it in order to do a new calculation!
    * The music player - Artists and Albums should be separate. End of! If youre choosing a new ringtone, you can browse by either Song, Artist, or Album, so why isn't this the same for the music player? This has annoyed me ever since I first got my N8, but seems like something Nokia are reluctant to fix, despite complaints from the majority of users. Also, why is there still no user-definable equaliser?

    GeminiPhoenix, you make plenty of valid points, but I think you need to try to give Belle a chance and then you might start noticing small things like the ability to simply delete any unwanted homescreens, and then it might begin to grow on you. I can understand your frustration at what you feel have been unnecessary changes (to Belle itself) but... well, I guess it must have been a MAJORLY serious age-old problem that forced you to risk the upgrade.
    Your complaints about the Belle widgets are all justified and hopefully Nokia are listening and will do something about them in due course.
    Even though I'd like more widgets, and more implementations of various settings into widgets, I find Belle to be be intuitive enough to make it an enjoyable experience - no less than Anna anyway.
    I agree, Nokia should give the option to revert back to previous operating systems.
    If I loved Anna so much, I wouldn't have cared less for latest and fastest software for my device. It would have taken a very serious problem to make me take the risk of changing it.
    I admit I may have jumped the gun on one or two issues, and I have since discovered how to delete unwanted homescreens. However, this just proves that the option is well hidden away in a very specific place, where I would have probably not looked had someone not directed me to it. Therefore I formerly retract that issue from my list, but I will add that I feel such options should be more visible, especially as we don't have a user manual to flick through and we're expected to just figure this stuff out on our own!
    I have also discovered that the Wi-Fi needs to be prioritised in order to automatically connect when in range of my home network. Again, this is not made clear, and the required settings are hidden away in an obscure folder where most normal people wouldn't think to look... I also retract this from my list
    As for the "age-old problem" - This thread should answer everything:
    /t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/Urgent-help-required-N8-refuses-to-send-text-messages-after-6/td-p/...
    It was indeed a serious problem, and the only way to fix it was to update to the newest software version. No doubt the problem will occur again in a few months time, and I'll have to do the same again...
    However, where I initially aimed to fix one problem, Belle has posed several new ones, such as the headphones no longer working, and the text messaging interface being rearranged based on the assumption that everyone texts using the Conversations feature. Two things I use every single day, and pretty much everywhere I go.
    I am also glad that you support my complaints about the widgets, so thank you. I know they're only minor issues, but they're the most used, and I fail to understand why they decided to change certain ones. The whole widget system overhaul is great, but it's ruined by the larger widgets which formerly used to be much more compact. For example, the music player and eMail widgets are the largest and most waste of space, whereas the clock / calendar / profile cluster was perfect, so why separate them so that they take up twice as much space on the homescreen?
    I too hope they're paying attention, and I have openly shared my thoughts with the Nokia team via Twitter. I would suggest everyone else does the same if they feel the same way
    I liked Anna. Whlist I did miss the old PR 1.2 icons, and disliked the coloured blobs, I could live with it. I thought Belle would be more of the same, with just a few tweaks here and there to things that needed fixing, but it seems like something entirely different. At the very least, I expected certain things to stay the same, with the improvements being under-the-hood so to speak
    As I have said before, certain aspects didn't need touching. They were perfectly fine as they were. Belle would function just as well if they had've left the widgets as they were. I appreciate that they've done a lot of work making certain aspects run faster, but some things weren't broken, so why try to fix them? Even more frustrating is the fact that other issues have yet again been ignored, such as the terrible music player interface, which almost everybody wants changing back to something similar to the S60 v5.0 era

    hmmm have been aware of the new phones you would be talking about being released here for a couple of weeks. was told by a little birdy, that is in the right places to know, you might say, that they were coming. hehe. Be very interesting to see them when they arrive. I'm not to sure if i would leave my e7 at this stage to change to them, but am trying to keep an open mind.
    I'm sure anyone who reads some of my post will realise how much i like my e7. More like i love my E7, after all it doesnt answer back, it does what i want it to do when i want it to do it. Always looks good, and is always ready to go where i want to go. what more could you want.hehe

    The symbian belle update Will be available for all phones that are running symbian Anna now according to Nokia. But the date of availability is still a mystery... The official release date for symbian belle is not a date but a time frame that is from October to December 2011. But with Nokia yet to release symbian Anna to several regions, looks like symbian belle's arrival may be delayed. Realistically we can expect in December 2011 or January 2012. If it goes beyond that then you'll be seeing threads of angry customers asking for it to be released soon. :-)

  • E6 with Symbian Belle?

    Hi there!
    I'm planning on replacing my old E5-00 with a new E6.now, i know that the phone comes with Symbian Anna but i am getting conflicting reports/messages as regards software updates.
    I have read from well-known internet site that Nokia will update all its Symbian Anna devices to Belle "soon". but when i rung Nokia they said No.
    i should feel and have confidence when buying a Nokia phone because they are really good on the build and battery issues. not so much on the software side i think.
    so, i want to find out once-and-for-all:
    1. will Nokia update their Symbian Anna devices to Belle "somehow" or in the near future?
    2. will Nokia continue to support their E-series devices with software updates even without Symbian Belle?
    3. should i buy an E6 now or wait for newer phones in the new year?
    thank you.

    Nokia E6 has a diffrent resolution and layout then other Symbian^3 (Anna) devices so probably it could take longer before Belle comes to Nokia E6  ... but at least the Nokia conversation page mentions that E6 will get the Belle update
    http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/24/symbian-belle-the-facts-the-features-and-the-pictures/
    I would call Nokia Care again and really ask them to find this out for you.
    They might not be able to get an answer right away, but they should be able to find out and get back to you...
    Nokia is still supporting and releasing updates for other E-series phones that are non S^3 devices, so cant see why they wouldnt continue to support the E6 no matter if it gets Belle or not.    ..they recently released an update for E72 for instance

  • C6-01 Symbian Belle ?

    I own a C6-01... I heard from a few blogs that Symbian Belle won't be released for the C6-01 at the same time it will be released on other S^3/Anna phones. I'm just asking if the update will be available to all devices at the same time, or will it be rolled out gradually to the devices.

    @ corpse
    Are you asking why belle is not available for C6-01, while it has been released for others? If that's your question, then official belle hasn't been released for any device. All belle versions available out there are either unofficial releases or have to be installed unofficially. As for your question as to why its not available for your device is, its up to people who work on custom firmware to create a version for your device or a leak specifically for your device or port version from existing devices to other models.

  • N8 Symbian Belle update:: Long Wait!!!

    Hi Nokia,
    I would like to share my thought, viewpoint on Nokia's firmware updates and it's availability to the global customers
    Yes, as mentioned in the subject, I am coming to the much discussed and anticipitated Symbian Belle update for the Symbian 3 smartphone portfolio. Like all other customers, I was waiting for a good user experience on my Nokia s-phone. Symbian Anna might be the first step, but Belle definitely looks a Uber UI for all the users.
    Now, let me explain my point: Nokia may release the Belle firmware for Nokia N8 someday in Q1 2012. I am definitely going to get that as I would keep this one in trash as no one wants an indefinite wait. And I may switch to some other phones running on Android/ or anything which I feel 'the cool one'. And I am not going to take another Nokia phone as this experience is horrible to wait for an update (having Nokia said "we don't & won't give the s/w update schedules prior"- it is like We (Nokia) would do whatever we want, and your (customers) interests doesn't matter). I was loyal to Nokia and keep this brand for nearly 10 years with 25+ phones from Nokia. And ultimately, you are loosing me (Nokia doesn't bother, I know). Not to try it's Windows portfolia as it's updates would be available only when Nokia feels to do it.
    If this is a strategy to sell off new phones with latest OS (701 viz), this won't work well, as you may add a few customers and ofcourse sell some handsets, but a huge chunk of customer base will move away from Nokia. Another blunder is- the  release of update is happening when the update itself is 'Outdated' compared to the then Smartphone OS Versions.
    I know this Post looks like my frustration vent, but certain that others who have similiar views could like or discuss this
    Regards,
    Harish.

    Hi Guys
    As frustrated as everyone might be, including myself, I think it's only fair if we look at all sides of what's currently happening.
    I, for one, get a bit uneasy reading about a Leaked version of our Long awaited O.S, but hey, that's just how this world operates, there's leaks almost everywhere and we just need to learn to live with it.
    It is a fact that Nokia has lost much of it's market share to other manufacturers and it seems as if this happened overnight, but I think it's fair that we give credit where it's due. Anna was launched recently, August if I'm not mistaken, and 3 Months down the line we're at Nokia's throats for another update. Mind you Anna was not just a Bug Fix, it was a MAJOR update, which some countries still don't have due to some errors...... Before the Much Talked about iOS5, iOS 4 was made available to the public for the iPhone and iPod touch on June 21, 2010 (More Info Here), almost 15 Months in between, including the Official Launch date of the iPhone 4S with iOS5, yet we can't wait for more than 3-4 Months after a Major Update? Remember, the S^3 phones aren't the only phones that nokia offers on the market, they offer a wide range (Look at the most recent E-Series Software Updates that rolled out some days ago). If the N8 was Nokia's only Phone, I'm certain things would be running smoother, not Perfect, smoother.....
    I would also love to see some sort of Improvement in here and there from Nokia, but trying to regain Market Leadership will not happen overnight and our support, as Nokia Users, will sure go a long way.
    Nokia has in the years given us Products to be proud of, why can't we show the same support as we did before?
    All I'm saying is, at the end of the day, we all want value for money, we chose Nokia, they are having difficulties, Let's support 'em, we're all human..... We will get Belle, we've only had Anna for about 95 days or so.... And, if True, with Carla and Donna under dev. we know that our phones will still be looked after...... Just a thought....

  • Symbian Belle on E6-00?

    Hello All,
    Whenever I read the PR statements about Symbian Belle, the older Symbian^3 touchscreen only phones such as the N8, C6-01, C7 etc are mentioned as being eligible for the Belle update, but nothing specifically about the E6-00.
    Does any one know if the E6-00 will get the Belle update for sure?
    Thanks in advance for any (constructive) replies!

    That is anyones guess.
    It could be several months or more yet, the earliest suggestions are the first few months of 2012.
    However, despite the first firmware update for the E6 being released five months ago, it has still not been made available for my bog standard generic, SIM free, never locked to a network, bug filled E6.
    On that basis just because there might be a Belle update released at some point, somewhere, do not rely on it being made available to you then or at any point in the future. Updates and bug fixes are a lottery.
