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

I have a Nokia N8-00 which shouldn't be locked to an operator.

Product Code: 059C9F6

Type: RM-596

Looking at Dan555's list, it doesn't look like they've even started rolling out in the uk for the N8.

@AaronUmhoefer I am sorry to say that your product code appears as "059C9F6: N8-00 RM-596 Orange UK GB V2 MR Dark Grey". Normally this would mean it is locked to the Orange network, but even if it has been unlocked in the past, you will still have to wait for the Orange UK variant of this firmware update to be released before it will appear as an update for your phone. Orange do take a little longer than some as they like to add their own customisations to this, which will all need testing before release. If you cannot wait for this then I suggest you find a local phone repair centre to see if they can install a non-operator customised version of the software. Obviously this will require your phone to be completely reset so make sure you back up your data first. Ideally they will also update your phone's product code to match the firmware they install or your phone will ask you to update in the future when the Orange firmware is eventually released.

@AaronUmhoefer

That list is probably out of date now and they have definitely started rolling out in the UK as I know a few pals who have this update but their phones are standard non-operator UK variants, unlike your phone.

Ah well that's a bit annoying, I lost my previous N8 last Christmas and bought a new one off ebay which I made a point to find an unlocked UK variant, but apparently not lol.

Oh well, suppose I'll have to wait. Not too fussed about getting custom firmware, got most of the mini updates (Homescreen widget, Music Player etc.). Lucky I was on Orange too, the phone doesn't become locked to Orange when I put the SIM in does it? (Probably a stupid question).
