To keep its customers Nokia’s always offering updates for the owners of the older version of Nokia devices. This is the case with the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia 5530. Both devices are running the first and original version of Symbian, thus they do not have the chance to get updated to Symbian Anna^3, and there’s no way for them to ever get the Symbian Belle OS.

Still not to disappoint Symbian^1 device owners, the carrier decided to port some Symbian Anna features to such devices. The first update roll out will include the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia 5530.

The Nokia 5800 is one of the best touchscreen devices. The manufacturer started its shipments 3 years ago and it was popular until the release of the Nokia N8, which was coming with much more advanced features.

The Nokia 5800 will receive the software version of  60.0.003, while the Nokia 5530 will get the software version of 40.0.003. These software versions have almost identical features, which means Nokia got the same features of Anna to both handsets.

The main changes caused by the software update are the following: Symbian Anna browser,  Nokia Maps 3.06, support for international domain names and support for languages like Arabic and Chinese (non ASCII characters).

The update will be rolled out OTA, which means unlocked devices will be the first to get the update. Carrier-based devices will receive the update in upcoming weeks. You will not need a computer to get the update.

Today Bell will launch the Nokia C6-01 we have been waiting for almost three weeks. And it was also known the phone would be available for $279.95 without any contract. Other deals of the Nokia C6-01 were unknown until now.

The device will be yours for free if you sign a three-year contract with the carrier. This is a Canadian tradition, but probably it’s not the best offer, because when you get a phone with a contract, there are attractive data plans, and you can choose one for you. Anyway, if you buy the phone with a one-year contract, its price won’t be much different from the price of the unlocked version, $254.95. $229.95 is the price tag of the phone with two-year contract.

The Nokia C6-01 is a worthy successor of the Nokia 5800, and it is not surprising that the handset comes at such price. The smartphone is equipped with many awesome features like a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with resolution of 640×360 pixels, 8MP camera that is the most powerful camera in Bell’s phone lines. The camera comes with dual-LED flash and an ability of recording HD videos at 720p.

More, it comes with a new version of Symbian^3 and Ovi Maps with free worldwide navigation. Other features include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and a 2 GB microSD card pre-installed.

Well, this mid-range smartphone may be welcomed by Canadian users, as I guess there are not so many fresh Nokia handsets in the market. Let’s hope Nokia’s product will become popular even though it’s a bit expensive.

There is nothing new about the  Nokia C6-01, minus the awesome N8 camera, everything inside is the same CPU/GPU/RAM actually – so no software issues from N8/C7/E7/C6-01, Call and End buttons (like the C7). The Smartphone also lacks HDMI and is equipped with a smaller 3.2 screen.
