Symbian Belle on Nokia N8 (general use)

[slyblade900]

great tut man. Keep it up !!

[aiviou]

It should be out sometime next week. I made this video 6 months ago.. I guess they ran into some major issues

[Phentora]

@aiviou Belle will be released on 8 feb

[aiviou]

@Phentora that seems to be the latest rumor, actually I heard it might even be the 7th ..But it will probably be just for certain product codes first, and gradually coming out for all of them. Hopefully the US doesn't need to wait much longer than Europe this time around :)

[Sonsonity]

Nice But , I`d Rather Wait 2 Days And Get The Official Belle . And Not Risk The Chance Of Not Having It At All ...

[IchanRofaic]

why IOS and Symbian copy Android notafication center?

i just like if symbian notafication prefer to have their own style like that is owned nokia N9 Meego OS :(

[1bboyred1]

nice video :) now i have to get an n8 lol

[rbl777]

@1bboyred1 in 2012?

[1bboyred1]

@rbl777 yes :) its only now that i can afford it.

[rbl777]

@1bboyred1 i know wat you mean man. i was saving money for it too at first. but i ended up getting an android coz its cheaper and more stable. i wish it had the n8 camera, otherwise i realised that phone is a phone. doesnt make my dick bigger so screw it :P

[aiviou]

@rbl777 The N8 has been very stable, and.. you can't buy that kind of hardware functionality for under 400 unlocked in the android world.

[rbl777]

@aiviou i know i know man. just that nokia will never be the same again. if it will BE around for awhile at all

(old nokia fan)

[svishaln]

when the fuk is tis thing available...!!!!!!!!!

[capoeiraberimbau]

great!!!!

[leo95087]

'thecolspot' is it true? hehe...bt my C6-01 is still sym anna...when can i upgrade to sym belle?

[steelrooter]

Still the same "Artists and Albums" view! Bullshit! :/

Why can't Nokia simply give two separate additional views "Artists" and "Albums". The current state of affairs is such a mess. :|

[fygas5]

how can i install symbian belle on my nokia n8?? my nokia suite didn t inform me about any update...

[aiviou]

@fygas5 You should check again in a month or so. Until then, you have to flash it with a leaked rom if you want to have belle

[capoeiraberimbau]

@fygas5

the official update you will get in february!

[jhian15jul]

nice vid man! totally dying now to have my own N8..

[akouzov]

I WAAAAAAAAAANT IIIIIIIIIIT. Shame im too much of a pussy to flash mine. NOKIA HURRY UUUUUUUP I WANT THIS DAMN OS NOOOOOOWWWWW PLEEEEASE DAMMMIT!!!!

[Stratos2you]

Нямам търпение да излезе официалния ъпдейт,за да го подкарам на моята N8..:)

[MrJohnnation]

Is qwerty keyboard better on belle than on the first version of software?

[Flatron565]

how about batery life? in anna my phone batery life is 4 5 days

[aiviou]

@Flatron565 about the same

[Mysticization]

@aiviou Really? I have to load C7 battery every night.

[AshanRandima]

Where is the official update?

[KalEl600rr]

whats that daft punk song u played?

[aiviou]

@KalEl600rr alive

[supergauchito]

Esto esta excelente ! ! ! :) :) por fin algo decente para el N8. saludos

[ventcislav]

Това нещо е уникално! Няма да си и помисля да купя друг телефон в следващите 5 години!!!

This thing is incredible! I will not consider to buy another smartphone in the next 5 years!!!

[tarunpai]

When will the official update be out? approximate date..

[Tahvo619]

@tarunpai Hopely it will come this month. Because they cant loose the chirstmash sales whit Anna !

[MrArbnor96]

is belle better than anna ?

[aiviou]

@MrArbnor96 Yes. But I suggest waiting for the official update..

[akouzov]

@MrArbnor96 The vid didnt make it obvious enough for you? This is an Android killer!!!! IOS can suck my balls too. With this os i think win mobile is gonna die again. cant frickin wait. :-D

[aiviou]

@311mofo it means that they are running in the background

[TurkiyeKalbimde]

@311mofo that probably means that there is an update available for those applications

[Bokilz]

Where can you get Symbian belle for the nokia n8?

[ironicdevil666]

how is the multitask working?

[aiviou]

@ironicdevil666 Smooth

[weirdudesBG]

Супер ! Някъква идея как да си го инстална на нокия c7 ? mersii :)

[aiviou]

@weirdudesBG Провери тази тема forum. dailymobile. se /index . php?topic=54673.0

[weirdudesBG]

@aiviou Мерси , няма възможност но ще изчакам до релийса :) благодаря !

[aiviou]

@weirdudesBG Мисля, че за сега го има само за N8

[ElvisKeAm]

can anyone tell me how to update to anna pleaseeeee????

[ITAPIYPP]

@ElvisKeAm You need to do it via Ovi Suit on a Computer.

[ElvisKeAm]

@ITAPIYPP i tried but i cant

[nikolaidanev]

@aiviou does Symbian Belle come with the wallpapers that are featuring on this video? Or you have downloaded them prior or after the installation? I am asking since the Anna update brought no new original wallpapers from Nokia and I am just wondering if the upcoming Belle update would have some new images preloaded.

[aiviou]

@nikolaidanev The wallpapers you see in the video come pre-installed with Belle. Again, this is beta, things might change by the time we get the official update, but if you look at the new Symbian Belle phones (700,701) they have the same set of wallpaper pics

[jdkhawaja]

big heavy mobiless :

5:45 FAIL

[Enoukh]

Could someone tell which song is playing during the first half of the video?

[aiviou]

@Enoukh this is the song playing in the video: soundcloud . com/kostaellis/that-loving-fee­ling-dj-steef

[Enoukh]

@aiviou Thanks

[vajikon73]

7 people have an iShit

[MrEagle912]

@vajikon73 True!!! lol

[sxydde]

hey id installed belle on my nokia N8... but now its not working... how to install again... there no software in nokia care india... pls help

[junj03]

is it me or it looks kinda like MIUI

[thecolspot]

The Analog clock with second hand is Awesome..

Belle is really smooth, fast and stable. This is what Nokia should have done before releasing N8.

Belle is now forcing me to upgrade from 5800 to C6-01 .. :P

i was thinking about moving to Android but now im going to stick with Nokia. Belle is really better thn Android and with just 680mhz processor, it kills Android Dual cores.

[Promistor]

@thecolspot before you buy the c6-01 wait for it to sell with belle because maybe you will get nfc

i bought the c6 a day b4 the nokia astound came up and now when the software comes up i will want to find a way to put a nfc chip inside it but buy the c7 if you want a phone with belle and nfc

[thecolspot]

@Promistor thanks for the info. i'll wait then :)

[StrongBOXMobile]

Belle is VERY fast on 680 MHz proc. This is the power of native(C++) code, not virtual machines(Android/Java)!!!!!

[StrongBOXMobile]

@StrongBOXMobile An of course the work of NOKIA engineers optimizing the code

[aiviou]

@666dis indeed

[sausama77]

there will be a revamped version of nokia N8 with belle and 1GHZ processor, MARK MY WORD...

[aiviou]

@sausama77 Nokia 801 .. hopefully

[robyto95]

@aiviou Mislish li 4e 6te go ima za nokia c7( osven za 701) i zbae6 li koga moga da si smakna anna za c7?

[aiviou]

@robyto95 Да, от Nokia потвърдиха официално

[leabuelo]

@sausama77 i hope there will be a mix of n8 and e7 with 1ghz (H), qwerty keyboard + 12 mpx

[sausama77]

@leabuelo actually the next successor of nokia N8 will have an 16 mpx camera and it's rumored to be called the N801

[leabuelo]

@sausama77 where you got that information?

[aiviou]

@sausama77 16 Mpx sensor makes no sense to me.. just make the sensor even bigger on the next one, who cares about pixel count

[sausama77]

@aiviou i agree with you on that...

[SparkySlow]

@sausama77 no, its called N9 and will have 8 mpx camera.

[sausama77]

@SparkySlow no N9 is actually not an official successor to N8. N9 is a new phone altogether with new type of hardware and new Operating System ( MeeGo ) although to some extent N9 is successor of N8. N9 having fresh OS...so it will attract more user from APPLE, ANDROID, even from SYMBIAN...IT'S my personal opinion

[SparkySlow]

@sausama77 Agree :)

[AlexMangekyo]

OMG i'm so fucking upset!!!!!!! Imagine if the N8 had a 1Ghz processor....INCREDIBLE!!! goddamn!!! :((( feel so upset, N8 could be a SMARTPHONE KING TILL 2012!!!!

[mansur86]

At least I can watched this video daily before the real Belle is come on Q4 2011.. Thanks for the video... eager wait for official release...

[07704510926knight]

is this firmware good enough to be used on our devices like normal use ??????? does it have bugs ?? does it freeze , crash apps , reboot , delete files , drain the battery fast , or any kind of problems ?????? are you using a leaked firmware or a custom hacked ROM ??????????

[aiviou]

@07704510926knight leaked firm. Very stable, no problems

[07704510926knight]

@aiviou yeah I couldn't wait,so I got it on my N8 just after posting my comment , it's so stable , never rebooted ,battery life is even more impressive , my usage now is moderate like listening to music , watching videos ,capturing images and browsing the web and I still get more than two days on a single charge ,another very important update is the continuous auto focus when shooting a video ,that's a major upside, however most apps aren't compatible with this firmware, that's the main downside

[MrGamebuoy]

stunning!!!i will now sure go for symbian!!

[TheCj115]

> BELLE ROCKS! THAN ANDROID AND I OS!

[krause79]

Put it a weather app with some useless effects and you'll make a fortune. whether or not it has xenon flash, fm transmitter, hdmi and so forth,

seems irrelevant.

[Stanimir5]

@krause79 and all mighty propaganda

[krause79]

@Stanimir5 It´s just my personal view. besides, i also think Samsung is like a sect and apple´s former CEO the master of hype and propaganda.... The average user of smartphones are becoming less informed, that´s why hype and useless stuff are more relevant these days.

[aiviou]

@krause79 the carriers don't help either ... all they sell is andro and iphones for $50 or less

[JavidFromBaku]

it is leaked or hack version of software??

[aiviou]

@JavidFromBaku leaked 

[JavidFromBaku]

@aiviou after this update, you have a problem with camera? or ше works as a first? I think camera has lost the quality of video recording after the update

[aiviou]

@JavidFromBaku I think it did loose quality, yes. The compression is higher, pic files are smaller sizes.. I think its beta testing so they haven't really bothered with optimizing the camera drivers yet. I've compered it against my other N8 (Pr 1.2) exact same landscape, same conditions.. there is a difference for sure. I thought it was the phone at first. Here are the files.. you have to move .jpg one space back, otherwise it won't let me post

i.imgur. com/Joaix. jpg

i.imgur. com/vw34R. jpg

[JavidFromBaku]

@aiviou In pictures clearly showed the difference the quality of photos ... I urgently need to flash the phone to Anna, N8 first of all - camera phone.....I'll wait for official release in December( thanks for the review and clarification) and sorry for my English ))

[chisinchai]

this is very smooth...

have you setup any email or any app that runs in the background? e.g. Whatsapp

[aiviou]

@chisinchai е-mail is set up, you can see the widget in on the second screen.. mailforexchange

[MildTonic]

Damn...it looks gooood and slick!

[MrBatticaloaful1]

how can i upgrade in srilanka

[zzzide]

Could this be Symbian redemption? I'm thinking about trying an N8 because of it!

[chamaraanu]

What is this.. I didn't get this with anna update

[AniqKasutAnggak]

@chamaraanu this is belle. another step up from anna. :) will be release at Q4 this year.

[Teraclips]

i dont get it we recently had anna but we are still getting another update?

[ThePhoneUpdate]

Far-cry from the Symbian on phones like the old N-series, N-Gage etc.. and man is it looking better!

[JohnnyBoy501]

Runs much smoother on a 680Mhz ARM11 than Android on a Dual Core 1.2Ghz while it offers the same level of GUI features lol

[noelsebz90]

@JohnnyBoy501 if a hacked version looks and runs this smooth, i'll bet the original version wud be awesome (after the bug fixes get in and its finally released)!! :)

[peace00021]

Hope Nokia will pay attention to their apps. It looks nothing compared to other platforms.

[drachezzz]

Por que no lo habilitan para America Latina?.. :@

[Athylas]

This makes me think about picking up an N8 second-hand when Belle is available.

[FatihMedia]

nokia should continue with symbian(optimized) and meego

[Joselco]

maximum 3 homescreen?

[MrReRacer]

@Joselco 6 homescreens

[k850piano2]

When will this out ? I'm waiting for it !!!!!!

[landiiiable]

@k850piano2 in 3h

[aiviou]

@k850piano2 It will be out in Q4 as a free upgrade

[sausama77]

@aiviou can you put one wallpaper for all the home screens like android?

[Shengy89]

I'm guessing this is what Nokia meant by making everything a swipe like in the N9 ads.

[ambiguous321]

wow, hey btw how many homescreens can u make ? cuz i saw some that had 4

[jeettak]

@ambiguous321 : You can have up to six home screens.

[digitaalinenelama]

Most of you have propably failed to see it, as Android users, but it has similar features as the N900 - which was mainly used by the geeks.

[AnAmSPR]

Viva Nokia

[AssassinJordi]

It tries to be Android really hard, and though it's a huge step forward for Symbian, it's still not on par with Android and iOS.

[aiviou]

@AssassinJordi It is actually better than Andro.. i've used them both

[sitadriver]

@aiviou Does Multitouch works smoothly in browser ? cause toy haven't showed it !

[aiviou]

@sitadriver depends on the website..with heavier flash content, it becomes less "smooth", but overall its much better than what we have now with pr 1.2 and ANNA

[Knottyboyayb]

@aiviou Same, i concur. It's not better by a small margin either. It's hugely impressive.

[rotulilaakso]

@AssassinJordi Symbian is better, no fragementation related issues and no lag on cheaper devices.

[umran89]

@AssassinJordi actually u cant exactly blame nokia for it, like other than ui wt exactly do u like of android or evn iOs , its the app , n tht s developers fault tht they dont make it much for nokia compare to other devices, n java is like symbian s basic lang so its really not tough for them make it as it s de most known computer lang, bt then its developer s choice, but yea nokia has truly come up in UI big tym dis year first anna den belle, lets c how it goes wit windows phones later dis year

[cretulicabz]

who cares if it looks like android./that's a good thing.and it has a few features from maemo aswell.this is a good thing.also the new nokia phones will come with 1 ghz processor.alttle late but it's perfect for this new version of symbian.anyway welcome back nokia.all you had to do was to change that awful ui.better late then never.now n8 is really worth the money.good ui,very good hardware

[mansur86]

Perfect Symbian Belle at least try to do something in right time to beat Android and iOS. If later mean symbian high change to be dead... main thing in Belle is the performance is outstanding.

[riddle10293]

This looks very good but Nokia should have put this out earlier this year not how we're still seeing "leaks". Nokia is so stupid. They had something so good in their own house yet they dropped it and went for Windows Phone 7 who can't even do a simple "copy & paste" as of this moment. Well, unless you have the Mango build of WP 7 which will come in the fall. I was going to sell my N8 but after seeing this I might hold on to it a little bit longer.

[CanyonOasis]

@riddle10293 WP7 can copy and paste, I have one. No mango.

[byteknology]

harika olmuş.

[bilalch55]

copying of android

[Waynder]

@bilalch55 how come? to me its more like swipe....

[HANNESPITKONEN]

@bilalch55 LOL RIGHT

[nokiasatyam8]

really belle rocks...........after seeing this i wann buy a nokia s^3 phone.....maybe c6-01.................the core multitasking feature and battery usage is the main advantage of symbian over android............

belle is less eyecatchy but almost close to android

[fightnight14]

Keyboard looks awful. I feel sorry for symbian generally.

[ritzz1]

@fightnight14

Got belle myself, the keyboard is quite good, you have to try it urself.

Before i hated symbian more than everything , now with Symbian belle i dont use my HTC Desire HD anymore

[fightnight14]

@ritzz1 Symbian might be the rival of Bada. And Android is to iOS.

[aiviou]

@fightnight14 keyboard is very good.

[leabuelo]

symbian still alive :D

[sasa3342]

What function has main hardware button (menu)with Belle update?

[MrGamebuoy]

now i will surely go for new n8!!andro bored me!it looks so fast!!

[Scytheh]

When does the web browsing begins?

[brokindreamz]

It looks like they put together Android and iOS....not saying it's a bad thing..

[blkrse22]

Yup this is not coming to the USA none of this the only thing we getting is their new mango phones but you can still buy it for well full price 600$ and more

[fahadnaif]

it's the same android man wtf

[Asemahdi3]

Nokia need to innovate new technologies like it used to do before 2008. After that they are simply copying. The only reason Apple has progressed so much is because they innovate. Of course innovation should be something useful, not a crap like WP7.

[faizytechtips]

Man,i hope N8 get smooth multi touch in browser like my Galaxy S

[DreadnoughtFIN]

Looks wonderful. I've used Nokias all my life but decided to choose a Galaxy S2 while they are getting their game together. Very much looking forward to what Nokia will have to offer in the future. :)

[mouadfone]

I will drop my android phone and i will get this :D

[IgalaMan2010]

Nice work in progress but Nokia, pls change your font to something more appealing.

[rafaykhan90]

It seems more like android but this is wat people wants and like to see these days!!! Well its gud... Quite a progress by nokia but can't say if its comparable to android!!!

[mrjamesblondi]

does no-one sees that this is an 3rd party theme?

[UsmanYZX]

I don't know why Nokia is trying to copy Android!

[IgalaMan2010]

@UsmanYZX When nothing else works, what do you do? lol

[rahulgagu]

Where can I download Belle? I tried 2 search in Navifirm but cud find only Anna.

I wanna try dis out, looks exciting !!!

[TheHauntingGhost]

well..d only issue, i.e., UI, has been resolved from oderwise the best mobile OS..i wish dis had happend some time ago..

[Praz619]

Why do it look like android..? Especially the notifications..? I expect a sue from google for this :P

[07704510926knight]

very nice vid , I was amazed by how fast you can access the camera while the phone is locked , and the music widget combined with an on/off FM transmitter switch ( you can split them ,right ??) can't get any better , with the wonderful looking video player , a cool notification slider , it is AGES ahead of Anna ,can't wait for the official version for my N8 , I wonder what would PR 4.0 ( probably aka Cecilia ) have up its sleeves ?????????

[MrJackwin7]

Back in belle!!!

Great work Nokia.

Next step should be to improve your apps quality and quantity..u will gain ur no.1 status back..Wish u luck..Love ur belle:))))))

[Geonaught]

Wow, I'm really proud of Nokia for the work that they have done. I used to be a Nokia guy, but since I got my Galaxy S I've fallen in love with Android. They have obviously take a few good elements from Android, but I won't be like an Apple fanboy and hate them for it. The true test comes down to the apps, Nokia needs to sort out Ovi store.

Well done Nokia, you're doing a good job in catching up. This is a sexy OS.

[Aloboli]

This is quite surprising. I wish Elop wouldn't cut off Symbian now...

[proteanview]

Good job. Now it's as customizable as Android, but with quality hardware and a better camera. Good going, Nokia. If only Symbian had the apps.

[acpessanha]

Symbian é o melhor sistema sem dúvida nenhuma! Eu adoro a Nokia e amo o Symbiam.

Nokia is the best! Symbian rocks :D
