Nokia Belle available for download
8 February 2012 by Olav Hellesø-Knutsen This week Nokia released Nokia Belle, a major update of the the previously named Symbian operating system.
Nokia Belle is the latest version of the Symbian Belle operating system. Nokia abandoned the Symbian name in December last year. The operating system is pre-installed on a couple of entry-level smartphones launched last year. At the same time the Nokia 600, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 was announced, Nokia also promised the Belle update for existing handsets. That day has come, and Nokia is now making a Belle update available for the following handsets: Nokia N8, E7, X7, C6-01, C7 and Nokia Oro. Nokia 500 will receive the update on a later date. The update process is almost straightforward. Because of the size of the update, it is not possible to update over the air. Users must install the 87 MB large Nokia Suite, connect the device to the PC before the Suite automatically downloads and install the Belle update.

You have things like moveable resizable widgets,a new drop down notification bar like Android. You can put all sorts of shortcuts on screen like a contact or bookmarks. It's all very much like Android now even critics liked it. It is very good and a huge improvement
There are no resizable widgets in Belle, they were stated as one of the new features but have not made it to the final release unfortunately
Also has a new browser better than the Anna version. Only thing I don't like is Nokia's qwerty keyboard it's just too small the keys
A friend updated his N8 and he's amazed! Seems quite clean and fast.
The N8 feels right after Belle. It should have been there from day 1..
With Belle, the N8 is a pretty good deal.. $335 unlocked on amazon [ This Message was edited by: cu015170 on 2012-02-09 22:54 ] On 2012-02-09 23:53:40, cu015170 wrote: The N8 feels right after Belle.

i got new one for $270 from ebay  on best offer.. good isn't it??
i really hate the symbian keypad.. too small keys.doesnt make use of the screen estate...  $270 is a great deal  The keypad is small, but text prediction works very well (at least when typing in English) and also, you can get swype from beta labs i tried swype and it was good comparatively with the stock one. anyway will be nothing infront of android keyboards thats sad part. Can you change to another keyboard in Symbian??
Yes. Since long time ago.
I never knew that as I was looking for one but could not see it  Oh well
Does Nokia sort its OSs alphabetically?
Anna, Belle. What's next? Cecille? You may be right tranced......the next update is going to be called "Carla"
