So charge your phone well, insert a SIM card, don't use the phone for calls or msgs while updating, use a PC with a reliable power source (I always use a laptop to make sure nothing can go wrong cos even if power goes, there's battery backup), and enjoy..give me the feedback on how it is post updating,
Thanks to you too John!!

AnonD-22351, 19 Feb 2012How about battery backup JOHN after Belle update:-)battery backup is the same, no better no worse.
if i use it only for calls and sms wit few minutes of game with my mobile data off ( i use anoda device for internet usually ) it goes 3days.
i think i grabbed the smart office for free at N8fan club, used my laptop to get it... like 8.5mb or so

People used to create ten folder levels to hide dirty pictures.

Video recorder is 11levels

I seriously doubt over the air updates would be available for Belle,
It is too MAJOR an update ( sorry Anna )

GadgetLover, 19 Feb 2012Lol..good to know! :)Sometimes am john sometimes am anonymous,
Lol...
Are you gadgetlover or ANNAlover by the way?
loool...
Just searched for ''Taskman'' looks very nice,
After the update i think ALL my apps were being automaticly reinstalled by NokiaSuite but i was in a hurry so i disconnected my phone,
NokiaCare says the microsoft apps would be available via NokiaSuite soon.
I understand your feeling of ''if it ain't broke don't fix it''

Thanks! I referred to Anonymous too cos I got a couple of replies from Anonymous too!
But thanks for your reply. You gave me an answer that I was suspecting..that apps will be backed up and probably can be reinstalled just the way they were. And that mobile data option replaces the widget online/offline option. i already have Picsel Smart Office and yes, it has wonderful functionality.
Thanks to you, I think I might be updating sooner rather than later. Keep the opinions coming. Cheers!

Can't find movie teaser...
Personally i don't see a reason why people are still hanging onto the ghost of Anna.
She understands and wants you to move on to Belle...
You WON'T be cheating on her...

They sound small, but my Anna is running silky smooth, and I have the Belle Shell to play around with and I don't find it much improved except for looking better than Anna. The one functionality I do appreciate wholeheartedly is the pull down notification bar, it was sorely missing on Symbian, Android and even iOS now has it. Nokia are probably unique in adding the "Mobile data on-off" option to the menu too.
All in all, I think belle is a very positive improvement and has been welcomed by the majority of Symbian Anna/S^3 users. Maybe in future when more functionality via updates is available, or a FOTA (over the air update) is available which doesnt wipe out my current app installations, I may adopt it as well. Cheers! :)

I said '' Videoes are no longer in gallery ''
NOT '' can't play Videoes in gallery ''
Its a good thing others have cleared this up.
NFC and FM transmitter are still there and have very nice widgets. NFC is built into the system so you don't have to go to that ''NFC gallery'' to send things.
Theoretical ( because i haven't seen another NFC enabled phone to try it out ), when you're in the main gallery or any other normal sections and both phones' NFC is on, you just tap to share ( like magic ).
How do you have 50 apps when the free capacity of the C: drive is about 300MB?
Anyways, after update go to '' settings > installations > To be installed '' and you would find your apps ready to be installed ( Or you WON'T even lose you apps in first place because some of my apps were automatically reinstalled )
Some widgets are very large ( mail and music player ) but they are VERY practical since you have 6 home screens and you can choose a shortcut instead of a widget.
As for clean functionality it depends on how you arrange your home screens.
No more widgets to offline or online options BUT drag down the notifications area and you can put your '' MOBILE DATA '' off if you don't want anything zappin your data.
There is a HIGH likelihood you WON'T have to reinstall your apps especially those on the C: drive because it you have to back it up during update. The update doesn't affect your F: or E: drive
Press power button to activate Power saver or download Battery monitor from Nokia store which is VERY accurate for me.
One more thing...
Forget the Quick Office ( where you can't create or edit documents ),
Just go download Piscel Smart Office,
Its wonderful.
Am john?
