It would not be something I would advise visitors to use though. I hardly think that the map was updated. I think Venezuela next door would be pretty accurate though. At least I know that feature is working!

Oh boy! I tried out voice navigation tod... moreThere's not much to mess up with upgrading to Belle really. If you have wi-fi just go to SW update and see if it's available and basically you just download, wait, wait some more and restart phone. I'd do it rather sooner than later, before you have too many apps, photos, contacts etc. Also, install Nokia Suite on your PC, if you haven't. It will guide you step by step and you just have to blindly follow. :-) So I'd recommend doing a back-up of important stuff via Nokia Suite first, also you can upgrade to Belle while at it, and then restore your backups.
Heh, I guess the maps aren't always totally accurate but hey, Facebook uses Nokia Maps too. If you were using Apple maps there's a chance that not even your island would be in them. Things like that actually happened. :-D

Oh boy! I tried out voice navigation today and it was a real comedy. It even told me to turn into a cemetery! :-) Then it kept telling me to make endless U turns which would have carried me in the opposite direction to where I was going, not to mention the endless left and right turns when I was supposed to go straight. Well, at least I can locate places on it and I can always check to make sure my house is still there:-)
Hopefully, I'll install Belle sometime this week. I am still hesitating though! If something gets fouled up while installing, I won't know how to rectify it. I also installed Opera Mini.

Backup the contents before updating.

I never even had a chance to try it first (and I had a chance to try Android and iPhone) but I bought it anyway hoping that it would still be Symbian but in a modern way. And I'm glad I did. :-)

MdN, 20 Jul 2013I think you're doing just fine. :-) I had two Symbian phone... more:). Does not wipe Anna, it is just replacing it:) Symbian is symbian, at it's core Belle is the same with anna or PR1. In fact they are all symbian v^3, even the v^4 as it's called, is an v^3 with improved hardware for better belle supporting:). Still, after upgrading to belle, Anna users missed some things old Symbian had and belle does not. And i had this problem to, for about 3 weeks. Now i don't remember quite what those things were only if i take an Anna device in my hands:). If you used old Symbian v5 devices then you kind of know how anna feels like. Ok, Anna has multi-desktops and strange widgets but the rest of UI is almost the same with good old Symbian:).

Stupid me, 19 Jul 2013You're right! :-)This whole thing is new to me so I come re... moreI think you're doing just fine. :-) I had two Symbian phones before this one and it still took me a while before I was confident with what I'm doing. So just have fun, experiment, take your time and remember where you were in case you need to go back and fix it. :-)
Well, for browsing, use Opera Mini, it's the best there is, fast, reliable, doesn't use a lot of data (compresses it on the server before delivering to your phone). Opera Mobile is slow as it loads full web pages but it can be useful sometimes.
Yeah, when I updated my Maps the first thing I did was to see if my house is still there. It is! :-) The rest can wait until I go somewhere or need to find some location. GPS should work well, if you go to Settings - Application Settings - Positioning you can check how you want to access your position. If it's just "Integrated GPS" then it might take a while to get the position but if you check the others too it can find it in half a minute (but use a little data).
I don't think that Belle Refresh wipes out Anna because the update is just 13MB big: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/15570_Belle_Refresh_starts_to_roll_o.php and installing it shouldn't take more than a few minutes - well, just click on "SW Update" icon and see if it's available, you don't have to accept. But you should make a back-up (phonebook, images etc) via Nokia Suite just in case. I already got Belle when I bought my phone and I wish I knew what it was like before. :-)

Stupid me, 19 Jul 2013You're right! :-)This whole thing is new to me so I come re... moreHey, why would you delete opera:)? It is better in page rendering and so on. Anyway, now i understand why are you having this problems. While Anna is superb for most Symbian veterans, for the new into the system, is a bit confusing and not that user friendly. At least not at the beginning... You don't have to be afraid to update it cause you literally cannot brake the phone (only if you have a power loss at your pc). Even so, you can still revive it with phoenix:). If you need instructions, just say:)
