T-Mobile Astound will not be updated to Nokia Belle

Posted by: Yash Maheshwari Posted date: February 09, 2012 In: News, Nokia, Symbian

Nokia US informed everybody on Twitter that the T-Mobile Astound, which is the Nokia C7’s variant for the United States, will not be updated to Nokia Belle.

Thanks for your patience @bittersw8regene. Unfortunately the Nokia Astound on T-Mobile will not be updated to Nokia Belle.

T-Mobile Astound was last updated to Symbian Anna in November, but will sadly not see Nokia Belle. We can see T-Mobile’s point in not going ahead with the update though. Nokia Belle is a major update, and with Astound being the only Symbian phone in their portfolio, it doesn’t make much sense for them to invest in supporting another OS.

That’s too bad, especially when one is on a 2 year contract. That being said, people can also download the latest generic Belle firmware using Navifirm and then flash the phone using Phoenix. It’s certainly a bit of a work, but with Belle the Astound owners will also get NFC capability. Definitely worth upgrading to this version, IMO.

If I were a T-Mobile Astound user who bought one on that two year contract, I’d be pissed. Just sayin.
