Hi all,

great news! We just started to roll out our next update for Symbian called Nokia Belle Refresh for Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia X7 and Nokia Oro with version number 111.040.1511 (Nokia E6, version number 111.140.0058, will follow still this week, Nokia 500 updates will follow shortly).

This update again brings new features to Symbian smartphones, for example:

-          a new browser with HTML5 web apps support, a new set of homescreen widgets, and the previously released Microsoft Office Mobile App and Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 in one package.

-          Nokia N8 will have some extra apps for imaging

The update will be rolled out in phases, starting with the vanilla versions (ie. basic software variants without any specific operator or country configuration). Country and operator variants will follow within the next weeks, depending on local and operator approvals.

pS: Just like after updating from Nokia Anna to Nokia Belle, some apps may not work due to compatibility issues. If you need more information on available apps, please contact your local Nokia Care support. Furthermore, you can also contact the respective App developer to enquire about the compatibility.

Best regards,

Yvonne from Nokia Care

    @rmasters.

     Nokia are responsible for creating the software which is then passed on to T-Mobile for testing and approval. If it passes T-Mobile's testing they will add their bloatware to it and send it back to Nokia so it can be added to Nokia's servers for download by the customer.

     I've received word from Virgin Mobile (UK) that they haven't received the Refresh update for testing yet (as of yesterday, at least) so it's probably the same case for other UK carriers as well.

    Hi Dan555

    Thanks for the updates on availability of the Nokia Belle Refresh. Can you answer this for me: who is responsible for making the update available for a T-Mobile (UK) N8 ?

    Is it Nokia or T-Mobile?

    I cannot get a straight answer, each company says it's the other.

    If it's T-Mobile and they don't bother publishing it (end-of-life phone) how can I get it for my phone?

    Thx, Richard

    Thanks for the tip Anthony7a. I went ahead and made a backup but did a factory reset anyways. Just got done installing a few things and importing the gallery. Widgets look nice. Too bad there is no gallery widget. Thanks again!

    for the people that don't have all widgets from the update and want them with out the factory reset.. I restored from my back up and they appeared, i lost no data, app, or settings from that but gained the new widgets i was missing

    I tried this, and yay, I got more widgets. But I did lose several of my homescreen configurations, my messaging history, and my gallery photos created after the backup date all seem corrupted for some reason.

    Word of advice to people: Backup your phone, then restore the backup you just made, don't backup one that was made a long time ago..

    Also, I'm still missing the gallery widget :(

    @Maccabistic

    I'm also in the US market, except with a dark gray variant. It's pretty frustrating since the "launch" of this update was more than a month ago. I think Nokia should've reworded that since when Belle was released we all got it days early. Not sure why this one is taking longer considering it's not really a big overhaul or anything like Belle was.
