Has started delivering Belle Refresh, an update to existing devices running on Symbian Belle. The Nokia N8, Nokia E7, C7, C6-01, X7 and Nokia Oro running on version 111.040.1511 have already started receiving the update and if it doesn’t show up for you yet - don’t panic as availability depends on country and carrier. You’re likely to get the update soon. The Nokia E6 will receive the update later in the week and the Nokia 500 is getting it in a few weeks.

The most attractive feature of the Bell Refresh is the improved HTML5 support in the browser, but the new version also introduces new homescreen widgets and the Office Mobile App. Those sporting a Nokia N8 will also get a suite of photo manipulation apps. Do keep in mind, though, that the update might break compatibility with some applications. Unlocked phones, of course, will be the first to get the update, with carrier versions following later on.

(Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012) @neutralguy Yup, smoothness/creaminess of my N8 is comparable to my XperiaS. Some games even load faster (cut the rope). Just being comparable means a lot for Symbian Belle given the fact that N8 has only 600mhz compared to the 1.5 GHZ dual-core of my Xperia S, RAM is also less than half. Also, I can do all my daily tasks on both my N8 and Xperia S. ILOVENOKIA @Follower What do you mean Symbian is outdated? You obviously are using a non-belle device.

Functionality-wise all the belle-running devices are at par with both Android, WP, and iOS. Number of apps is the only aspect where Symbian is lagging behind, and I don't even care about that.

Nokia (Old) & Symbian News & Updates Update (November 21, 2017) – Nokia Software Recovery Tool gets an update to version 8.1.25 (just a “Bug fix” update but still a Symbian related update is nothing short of a miracle now). Update (July 18, 2017) – WhatsApp finally stopped working in Symbian S60 phones (Nokia N8 etc). Update (July 2017) – Microsoft has outsourced the Nokia software related services and downloads to B2X company.

Nokia Software Recovery Tool (NSRT) got an update recently with version number 8.0.23 and B2X as the new publisher. For more details about this change and the new download link of NSRT please refer to Update (June 2017) – WhatsApp has again extended support for old mobile platforms like Nokia S40 (till December 31, 2018), Blackberry, Windows Phone 8 & older (till December 31, 2017). Unfortunately Symbian S60 was not lucky this time – as declared earlier WhatsApp will stop working in these phones after 30 June, 2017. Kofax Capture 9 Silent Install. This may be because S40 is still under development and supported by Microsoft. But the same is not true about Symbian S60 – Microsoft has abandoned it long time back. Update (May 2017) – Handango.com, impart-forum.com & mobipocket.com are no more – even the domain names have expired (more details in ). These three websites were among the most famous and premiere portals in the golden era of Symbian (2001-2010).

Handango was a premium app store for Symbian OS/Win Mobile/Palm OS just like the Google Play Store for Android. Mobipocket Reader and associated dictionaries were among the most popular Symbian apps of all times. Similarly impart forum was a very popular place for Symbian OS users to discuss related issues and share apps/games/themes etc. R.I.P. We will miss you! Update (April 2017) – Nokia Software Recovery Tool ( NSRT) is working again in online mode.

Update (December 2016) – NSRT has stopped working again. Download link of NSRT is not working either. Perhaps Microsoft has finally decided to put it RIP (Rest In Peace). Update (December 2016)– WhatsApp (again) extends support for Nokia Symbian phones until June 30, 2017 – more details in Update (October 2016) – Microsoft has released a new version of Nokia Software Recovery Tool (NSRT) recently.

This update restores NSRT’s ability to download Nokia phone firmware files. After closing down Nokia servers earlier this year, Microsoft shifted Nokia firmware files to it’s own servers. The new version of NSRT have access to these new download URLs. More info and download link.

Update (July 2016) – Microsoft has removed the whole data base of old Nokia phones (each and every phone except Lumia). Even the phone specification pages have been scrapped. Related Software download links have also been deleted. Only NSRT and Nokia Suite download page is alive now. That it will cease support for Symbian/S40 platform after December 31, 2016. Bad news for Symbian/Nokia phone users!

Microsoft finally closed down support for Symbian OS and related Nokia services effective from January 1, 2016. This includes the official support softwares, updates and Nokia firmware repository. Most Nokia sites and download links are either offline now or are redirecting to Microsoft sites, for example discussions.nokia.com now redirects to answers.microsoft.com.
