The long-awaited Belle update for older Nokias that launched with Symbian^3 has started rolling out. We received tons of tips (thanks everyone!) and when we plugged in our Nokia N8, Ovi Suite immediately found an update.
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 for the Nokia 500 will be delayed a few weeks.
Anyway, the update came a day earlier than expected. It's available in the following countries: India, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Poland, UK, Germany, Italy, Vietnam and Indonesia. There are others too, you can check the availability here.
Here's a promo video that shows you how to update and what you'll be getting:
We're currently updating our N8 and will be doing a hands-on video with it and maybe a quick new review. The older Nokias come with a slower processor and half the amount of RAM that the new models have, so we're curious to see how the latest Nokia OS update handles on the old hardware.
Check if it's available for your phone and don't forget to drop us a line in the comments with your model and region.
