Bad Nokia, only fixed focus cameras!
Any text reflow in the browser yet, and Adobe Flash 10.3 and 512 mb or more ram and why is Symbian still only having 360x640?

        Why ARM 11 1Ghz CPU???? And Symbian is still stuck with the nHD resolution. After the launch of Nokia E6 I thought Nokia has found a way to break the nHD barrier and they will now launch FWVGA phones. But no, they are still using old 360x640 panels.

              AnonD-18997, 24 Aug 2011this is great Symbian belle will be available to Nokia n8,c... moreYou can't make a NEW OS run on old phones...

              And I don't say C7/E7/N8 and others are old, the hardware is getting old, you also can't run WP7 on those phones because the OS isn't compatible.

              You can't force a company to make OS updates for all phones, is like if you want the 5530 run stock ANNA is just impossible....maybe in a coocked ROM...and I insist coocked ISN'T good and is NOT the real thing is just a make up...

              This can be the same on those phones, the same fate has iOS and Android...You can't get on G1 Gingerbread and you cant get on iPhone 2 the iOS 5

              So if you want the latest OS you need to invest in new phones...

              In fact BELLE is just for the new entire line up of Nokia..If you have one of the others you will have ANNA that's why they release that OS

                Nah.... nothing changed! except the 1gb mhz processor they're same as c6 and c7's spec(including that "bad fixed focus camera", nokia ignore what we need is auto focus, belle only a few things changed in my leaked version i can surely tell, kinda shame to the htc alike copied big clock ui at the front... it's absolutely a big no for me, should try harder on ui next time, a few changes is good but not enough to bring symbian back to its old days.

                  I wish Nokia would get rid of the same old nHD resolution. Upgrade to a higher standard, such as 480x800 or 540x960. Even the topmodel X7-00, having an awesome 4 inch screen has a low resolution of only 640x360 pixels. That's just lame. I was actually considering buying one to try a different brand for a chance but the screen resolution totally put me off.

                      AnonD-11559, 24 Aug 2011For ppl still complaining that there is no GPU in the upcom... moreThe GPU improvement is excellent news. Tjhe cpu is never going to be slow on a symbian and this improvement of the GPU can actually be a roar from Mumin Country Of Soumi (Finland).

                      I am very surprised. This is very very very good news.

                          think that this kind of phones is very good for users who don't need last generation high tech products. this nokias can do almost anything for regular mobile phone user.

                              RejZoR, 24 Aug 2011Fixed-focus, fixed-focus and again fixed-focus. I wouldn't ... moreAsk 10 persons that have autofocus on the phone how many times they have taken a picture within 50 cm the last year,,,,perhaps 1-2 persons out of ten have done that more than once. I sincerely think this talk about auto focus on low/medium price ranged phones are for a very very ...very small group of users.

                                hope Nokia releases this as early as possible for existing costumers or else EXISTING costumers will become EXITING costumers

                                    For ppl still complaining that there is no GPU in the upcoming Symbian Belle Devices heres the message.. "It’s not all about good looks, though: there’s real horsepower as well. Behind the screen is a brand new graphics co-processor, with a faster clock and four times the graphics memory of previous Symbian smartphones." Source
