The Nokia Belle update is already on its way to a list of smartphones, while the others still don’t have it and might not even get their chance to feel Belle touch. One of such unlucky devices is the Nokia Astound.
Despite the fact that this smartphone is almost identical with the Nokia C7, which will receive the update, the smartphone offered by T-Mobile will not receive the update. This means the Astound users will have to stick with the current Symbian Anna OS.
We are not sure about the reasons of cancelling the update. Most likely both T-Mobile and Nokia. The update is pretty large reaching the amount of 250 Mb, which is rather hard in terms of distribution. The same situation actually was with the Symbian OS, while the rest of the smartphones received it in August of 2011, then the Astound units received it only in November of the same year.
Still if you rememeber there were rumors that the Astound will not receive the Anna update, thus there’s still chance that T-Mobile will figure out a way to get Nokia Belle to its Astound customers.
