One day I was searching for the latest firmware available for the Nokia Smartphones. Every device seemed to be O.k with its latest available firmware installed other than mine. My Nokia C6-01 is still on the ver. 22.014 but the Nokia Mobile site as well as Software update site is showing ver 25.007 to be available. 

But when I checked for the update on my device or via Nokia Suite it says 'you have latest firmware already installed on your handset'. This is something very disgusting as Belle is already delayed and now I am not getting this update too.

Is there anyone else who's having the same problem? please report us in comments.

When it comes to using our Nokia Smartphone, we love doing that. but our monthly 3G plan may not let us do that to the fullest. Almost every #g user is limited to using a limited data over 3g network. But while using Nokia sometimes we forget the limit , and cross the which costs us when our Monthly bill arrives. How incredible it would be if there would be any app that warns us to stop when we reach the max. 

Nokia Lumia is here to help you out in this problem. There is a little feature that wasn' spotted out yet. This feature stops all the downloads and sends them into a queue for later download on a free WiFi network.


Any time you try and download a large file over 3G on your Nokia Windows Phone, the Windows Phone 7.5 OS automatically steps in and puts the largest files in a queue to be downloaded when you’re in range of a Wi-Fi connection, saving you money and letting you download the file faster.

Yes it sounds incredible as its Nokia's chief gifting a Nokia Lumia 800 to Peter, a 26year old Finnish blogger suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He himself posted on his blog "Pietar" telling the story. Still he reminds that Nokia Lumia 800 is not officially available at stores in Finland. In addition the Nokia employee brought him 2 Angry birds t-shirts.

As Normal Sim card doesn't fit in Lumia 800, he added, we need to go to the nearest sim card store to get it cut into micro sim or get a micro sim from the service provider. At last he thanks Nokia for the Most incredible Christmas gift.

Day before Yesterday Nokia conversations created much hype after declaring Symbian belle to be called "Nokia Belle". Later, lots of readers questioned about the name change, the reason for the change etc. Vesa Jutila , Head at Symbian product marketing, Nokia taking guard has answered all the questions being asked on Nokia Belle.

1.Most of your questions were aimed at why the name change from Symbian Belle, to Nokia Belle.

We are still using Symbian Belle with some audiences like developers but now we also have the flexibility of using Nokia Belle when referring to our greatest and latest Symbian software update. We are really looking forward to making Belle available to people as it will truly bring a new experience to everybody.

2.For some of our readers, this February update still seems too far away. They were told they would receive the update in Q4 of 2011, then Jan of 2012, and now Feb. Why has there been a delay?

Nokia Belle will make such a big difference in the user experience, and it is a major software update. We are progressing well in bringing Belle with a new look and feel to millions people across the markets at the same time, and are anxiously looking forward to delighting our consumers with Nokia Belle.

3.We reckon it will be well worth the wait for such a major update. As to the question of why is this update now not available for the Nokia 500? Some good news.

I am happy to say that Nokia 500 will also be one of those devices receiving Nokia Belle along with Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01,Nokia C7, and Nokia Oro.

Nokia via Nokia conversations announced that the Nokia Belle update ( Earlier known as Symbian Belle) will be rolling out for all current Symbian Anna devices from Feb 2012. The most interesting thing is that they removed the Symbian tag from Belle and renamed it as "Nokia Belle". Nokia first removed the Ovi tag from all its premium services like Ovi Music and Ovi Store are now Nokia Music and Nokia Store respectively. Now they have deducted Symbian from Belle and named it as Nokia Belle.

Nokia Coversations says:

The all new Nokia Belle (previously Symbian Belle) user interface will soon be available for download to some existing smartphones and begin shipping with a selection of smartphones that are already on the market.

Launched earlier this year with Nokia 701, Nokia 700 and Nokia 603 smartphones, the UI has received lots of positive feedback from our customers.

The enhanced versions of Nokia N8, Nokia C7 and Nokia C6-01 have now started their journey from the factories to the shops with Nokia Belle preinstalled, arriving first in China, then around the world.

For those already owning a Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, and Nokia Oro, the wait for Nokia Belle is almost over. Starting in February 2012, Nokia will release the all new Nokia Belle software update to existing customers and you’ll be able to download it right on to your phone, bringing a whole heap of improved features.

Nokia Belle brings you more home screens, expanding the current three home screens you get with Nokia Anna to six. That’s more screen real estate to host your apps and widgets.

The home screen widgets have been improved and made more functional than before. Plus some of them, such as the email widget, give now much more information making reading emails much easier at a glance.

Most of us know that Nokia Lumia 800 owners were facing high battery consumption issue on their devices which led to low battery life. As earlier promised by Nokia, they will be providing a software update that will resolve the problem. This time its Nokia's chief Stephen Elop himself replying to an email on the very topic. Today On Nokia's discussions page, Nokia made the following statement:

 On Monday 12th December some of our customers started to comment in various social media that the preloaded diagnostics tool in some of the Nokia Lumia 800 phones was showing lower battery capacity than expected. We immediately started to investigate these reports and can now confirm that while the battery itself is fine, a software problem on certain variants is limiting the phone’s ability to access the full battery capacity. We want to stress that this issue has not been found to affect the recently introduced Nokia Lumia 710.

The good news is that as this is a software problem it can be easily resolved.  The planned software update in early 2012, as well as including many performance enhancements, will also include a fix that will enable the affected phones to access the total battery capacity.  For anyone who does not want to wait for the software update, Nokia can arrange for a replacement phone.  Anyone who requires any further clarification should contact Nokia Care (Care contact details and locations can be found atwww.Nokia.com/support).

Anyone who wants to know if their phone is affected can run the battery status test from the diagnostics tool already installed on their phone. (The tool is designed for service use and only displays approximate values.) Dialling ##634# opens the diagnostics tool. By accepting the disclaimer and then selecting ‘Battery Status’ from the list of options, anyone will be able to see their available battery charge capacity.  If your full charge capacity reads less than 1000 mAh then your phone is affected with this specific issue and you may find it is necessary to charge your phone more frequently than normal.  Once the software update has been applied, you should experience much better battery life. In the meantime here are some tips on how to increase your battery performance and you should also make sure you are using the charger that came with the phone, as older chargers may not be as effective at charging the new Nokia Lumia 800.

Nokia also cleared that the new modals of the same phone will be free from the above issue for all the customers getting Lumia 800 from now onwards such as in India and Singapore. Still if any costumer faces the same problem, he/she is free to contact Nokia Costumer care for the same.
