Future updates still coming to 1st generation Symbian^3 devices

The update to Symbian Belle FP 1 will be available only for Nokia 603, 700 and 701 , but the first generation of smartphones S ^ 3 will not be abandoned.

As has happened in the past months with the S60 5th edition, Nokia said on its support forum that the N8, E7, E6, X7, 500, C6 and C7-01 will continue to receive updates and bug fixes.

So, always hoping in community work, the first generation of S ^ 3 will still be supported in a formal way for a long time.

Nokia has started rolling Belle update to existing Symbian^3 Anna devices worldwide The update would bring new features such as 6 home screens instead of 3 in Anna, Resizable and movable widgets, New and improved browser, Notification bar, Revamped camera interface, new suite of powerful business apps from Microsoft and Informative lock screen.

The update is version 111.030.0609, the latest available version of Nokia Belle, even for the Nokia 701. That means that owners of an N8, E7, X7, C7, E6, C6-01 and Oro will be on par software-wise with phones that launched with Belle.

The update will come to devices in countries like India, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Poland, UK, Germany, Italy, Vietnam and Indonesia. It would be available for Nokia 500 in few weeks. You can check if it’s available for your Symbian^3 device in your country from Nokia Belle page.

Belle update coming 8th of February says Nokia Vietnam

Belle is coming to your Nokia N8, E7, C7, X7, E6 and C6-01 in February, that we already knew. Now Nokia’s Vietnamese site is claiming with big letters that the update is arriving 8th of February. Nokia 500 isn’t mentioned for some reason, but Nokia has said the update to come for it as well.

Ready for you to download from on 08-02-2012
The phone can be upgraded to Nokia Belle: Nokia N8, E7, X7, E6, E7 and C6-01

Thinking how these firmware updates work, Vietnam wont certainly be the only country getting the update by that date so that’s the likely date of when the Belle roll out will start. It could be of course that Nokia’s Vietnamese page has gotten ahead of it’s time, like Swedish Nokia page advertising N9 release date too early.
