Nokia Astound on T-Mobile Getting Short End of the Belle Stick
File under: News
The Nokia Astound on T-Mobile is basically the Nokia C7 the rest of the planet is familiar with. Just due to the fact they are the very same hardware, however, doesn’t imply they’re necessarily handled the exact same. We most not too long ago noticed this disparity when the C7 started acquiring software program updates to Symbian Anna last August, even though the Astound did not have a likelihood till three months later on. Now that Nokia Belle updates are going out, will we see a similarly disappointing wait for the Astounds update? The “disappointing” portion could be spot-on, but we wouldn’t exactly call it “waiting”, as Nokia has announced that T-Mobile will never ever be updating the Astound past Anna.
Two nights ago, we shared with you a website Nokia had put on-line to let its end users track which phones would be obtaining Belle updates, in which nations, and when. Navigate via to North America and the US, and you will find the Astound conspicuously absent. The C7 itself gets Belle, if you’ve imported a model, but there is not even confirmation right here that T-Mobile rejected the possibility of an update. To get that, we have to turn to Twitter, wherever Nokia’s US account posted in no uncertain terms that the Astound will not be obtaining Belle. It did not even leave the door open for an update three months down the line, like with Anna sorry, Astound end users.
