I will check when i get home to see if my N8 has received any update. It appears that its mostly being received in India, but a couple of reports from Spain and Poland suggest that it has also begun in Europe

Not been called Symbian Belle for at least acouple of months now.......obviously trying to move away from anything Symbian related. Anyway i have just updated my N8, and so far so good.

Mine too, nice and very good on par with Android with fluidity imo. Its completely uninstalled ALOT of my apps though which were free when i downloaded them but are now premium. Not gutted though as they were all mainly games which im not into anyway.
Oh and its Nokia Belle now, Symbian as a name has been dropped completely, for reasons i reckon are the bad press the word Symbian automatically stirs up in the minds of the public.

Not all product codes have been given the update yet, if you check on the link in the second post it will tell you the update status for your product code
Posted by masseur
thanks. I just sent him the link.

Mine said there is no update if you key in *#0000#
If you go to the app SW Update and refresh it, it should appear there.
Alternatively boot up Nokia Suite and connect the phone to the pc (not mac) and refresh for updates.

I found lately the OTA update does not always work. Last update I had to do via pc

Nokia officially announced the rebranding from Symbian OS to Nokia OS is a press conference late last year.. I think during Nokia World if I'm not mistaken..
It's among the rebranding movement they made to all their ecosystem..
Ovi to Nokia as well as Symbian to Nokia:
Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia Store, Nokia Music, Nokia OS etc..

if this turns out to be true, not just the specs but the LAST Symbian OS based phone EVER to be released ... then this will be the end of an era ... EPIC! The OS that SHAPED what mobile phones/smartphones should begin to take form as!!
You know it all started with Ericsson, not Nokia right?
R380.
I think if Nokia was to do this ... then the inner shell should have signatures by either a) top engineers/developers of Symbian/S60 right up to include Olli Pekka and last executive camp. A Tribute of sorts. Or an accompanying video up-close & personal of those that help shaped, drastically evolve Epoc into Symbian, S60, UIQ and right up to Belle.
If its beautiful and powerful (maybe some top notch polished apps bundled) I may purchase one just for nastalgia sake; maybe.

I dont think ericsson give a **** about it.. I was so heart broken when sony ericsson ditched symbian uiq! YEah ericsson did some great stuff which people tend to forget.. This generation is all blinded by "i"
Edit: I have used leaked belle rom, and I really liked it, its similar to android in many ways tho..

Well it even hints at possible optical zoom. As you can see from that photo the lens sticks out more than N8. Folded optics??

All About Symbian have posted a guide to overcome Belle issues:

Apart from the share button in the gallery that doesnt work, ive no such issues with mine.
Having said that, the share button didnt work when my N8 was released in 2010 and only after a minor firmware update was it fixed. So no big issue.

@etaab
did you noticed some quality dropped in N8 with belle? I read some forums and many people are complaining.
Posted by julias
The Swype integration in Belle is excellent.
Posted by etaab
Quality of what ? the camera ? no nothing lost imo.
