Nokia Starts the Deployment of Nokia Belle

Nokia has just started the delivery of Nokia Belle to its users, the latest OS upgrade for its Symbian-based smartphones.

The new platform release brings along a variety of enhancements, with more personalization options than before and with a new UI for users to enjoy.

“Starting today, with Nokia Belle, you’ll be able to transform your Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, or Nokia Oro device, by adding a whole load of enhancements. For Nokia 500, Nokia Belle will be made available within the next few weeks,” a post on Nokia Conversations reads.

As soon as they install the new software update on their devices, users will enjoy up to six home screens to put shortcuts on, for fast access to favorite applications and services.

Moreover, the new OS version arrives on devices with larger live widgets display, so that users can see what is important to them directly on the homescreen.

Moreover, placing shortcuts on the homescreen is easier than before. The same as is moving them around.

“The new and improved Nokia Belle interface also includes new features like imaging applications with HD video recording at 30 frames per second and a visually improved browser enabling high-quality browsing and viewing of Web videos,” Nokia explains.

“The menus have been simplified and a notifications bar has been added to make accessing key settings or features, very fast.”

Moreover, the new OS flavor arrives on devices with powerful Microsoft Apps, including Lync and OneNote. These apps will soon be made available for download on Nokia Belle.

Today, Nokia Belle was made available in most markets, including India, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Poland, UK, Germany, Italy, Vietnam and Indonesia, among others. Users can check on the availability of the update on this web page at Nokia.

“As Nokia Belle is a major update, you’ll need to connect your phone to a PC to perform the update,” Nokia also explains.

For that, users will need the latest version of Nokia Suite to be installed on their computers. The software was updated last month with support for Nokia Belle, and can be downloaded from Softpedia via this link.
