Nokia Belle Update Released For Symbian Phones

Do you have a Nokia phone with the Symbian^3 OS? Then perhaps it is nice to hear that Nokia Belle update have been released on February 8 to phones with Symbian^3. Nokia Belle is a new major update of Symbian OS since Symbian Anna release. Belle installs on wide variety of Nokia devices and among the phones supported are Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia E7, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, E6 and Nokia Oro. We got a lot of improvements when the first major update in a long time, Anna, was released for Symbian last year. Symbian has long been considered an obsolete OS that can not beat competitors like Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7. But with last Anna and Belle updates Nokia provided much more modern experience to its customers.

To apply Belle update to your phone only that you need is a computer, the Nokia Suite 3.3 installed, USB cable and some free time. After your phone got update you will get access to three additional Home screens, new widgets on the home screen and the modern status bar which can be pulled down just like in Android and Apple iOS devices. Release notes also mention better NFC support, more informative lock screen and improved multitasking.

Change default web browser on Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 and other Symbian phones - How to

Latest Nokia smartphones running Symbian^3 (Nokia X7, N8, E7, C7, C6-01 and more in future) got nice WebKit-based web browser. But, until the big update, announced by Nokia CEO, the best user experience you may get with the new version 10.1 of Opera Mobile browser. However, if you click web link in some application on your phone (e.g. in an preinstalled email client) it's opening in the default Nokia "Web" browser.
But in new Symbian^3 OS there is a setting that allows you to change app associated with links. This setting page can be found not only on Nokia phones running Symbian^3 but on some Symbian^1 Nokia devices like 5800, 5530 and N97. This is "Default applications" tab in main Settings menu in your phone. To navigate to this pane follow this way Settings -> Application Settings -> Default applications. First Symbian^3 and Symbian^1 devices (e.g. X6, N97 mini) got this pane in new firmware updates. In Symbian^1 phones navigate to this pane this way: Settings->Phone->Application settings->Default application. Here you'll see four Default applications settings: browsing internet, playing music, playing video clips and viewing images. In first setting you can change default browser.
Please note that the first version of Opera Mobile app, which supports this feature, is 10.1. Unfortunately, WRT apps continue to launch Web, even if you click on an web link and open browser. For example, in Nokia's Social Networking app, which is WRT-based, click on a web link in a Facebook message or Twitter tweet will always open it in Nokia Web. Hope this will be fixed in new firmware releases.
