RIP Symbian, its Nokia Belle now

It is the end of an era or more accurately close to the end. Nokia has dropped the Symbian branding from its own smartphone OS and is now calling it Nokia Belle – no more Symbian S60 versions, just Nokia and the version name. This move probably comes after Nokia sold and outsourced Symbian to Accenture, which would mean it does not own the Symbian trademark anymore. Nokia also announced it will release the Belle update for the Nokia N8, E7, E6, X7, C6-01, C7, and Oro starting from February 2012. However, new units of the Nokia N8 that will be shipped from its manufacturing facilities now will come with Belle on them.

y not any update for all old phones... they surely dont care 4 consumers anymore...

I am very disappointed by nokia's downgrade on operating systems. They are using s40 in almost every phone now with less size of processor. Most phones hang.

my n8 is already symbian anna and im eager for the belle update the belle firmwawre v111.30.607 is already placed on nokia firmware servers we just need them to add the county variants then we can update to the belle firmware,,for nevermind nokia for myself its stay named as symbian belle because its symbian..and thumbs up to nokia for name these last two major updates after women we could have something similar to googles fw naming such as icecream sandwitch or honeycomb

Belle ... new os?

Nokia has to get things right
