Nokia N8, E7, E6, X7 and E500 Symbian Belle Update Reconfirmed For A February Release

by Catalin on January 22, 2012


We’ve been talking quite a lot about Nokia and their Lumia lineup and things have been going great so far for the manufacturer. Not only have they been releasing some great devices for the sector, but they also managed to re-enter the US market, slowly but surely. Their Nokia Lumia 800 is a hit, Nokia Lumia 710 has been released over at T-Mobile and the Nokia Lumia 900 is coming to AT&T. What about those who are using Nokia devices still running Symbian? Well get ready as the February release date for the Nokia N8, E7, E6, X7 and E500 Symbian Belle update has been confirmed!

If at first we thought that the Symbian Belle update will eventually get released at the end of 2011, we then got wind of the fact that the update has been pushed back to 2012.

But when in 2012 you ask? Well, it looks like the Nokia X7, E7, N8, E6 and the E500 will be getting the Symbian Belle update starting with February. This was confirmed on Twitter by the manufacturer itself.

The update will breathe new life into these devices (and not only these but also to the Nokia C7 and the Nokia C6-01) and therefore you can expect to take in a breath of fresh air in the shape of the Symbian Belle update next month (check out what the update will bring to the table). Seeing as this is official, all you have to do now is hold out just for a little bit longer and get your own fix going.


Nokia is moving pretty well in terms of updates, as the rumors were pointing towards a release of the Symbian Belle update in the near future, a few months back.

Now that we have the month locked down, get your Nokia N8, E7, E6, X7 and E500 ready for the Symbian Belle update as its release date is closing in quickly.

If you own one of those devices make sure to drop a line if you’re excited about this update. Stay tuned!

Thanks PocketNow for letting us know about the Nokia Symbian Belle update release date.

    Anna shortened my N8′s battery life vastly so hopefully Belle will fix it.
