Someone know more about Belle ? In the Nokia Conversations link I read:

bq. So there’s lots to look forward to on your existing Symbian^3 phone (Nokia N8, E7, C7, C6-01, X7, E6 and 500) and new models in coming months with Symbian Belle.

This means - I think - that a Belle update wil be available for those models further. Is there a developer experimental version or preview that can be installed on a device?

Thanks.

There are several leaked version of Symbian Belle in the net :) I haven't tried them personally and I am not sure how stable are they but you check the following links :) :

Thank you Leon, I saw these links. I am aware that after any Nokia update annoucement on the net there is a lot of hacked / non-hacked versions.

What I means was if is there a developer version, i.e. somehting from Nokia Labs or from Nokia anyway. The developers should wait for the official release or can find a preview for their devices before? This is in conjunction that the Qt Creator 2.3.0 + Qt 4.7.4 are already supporting Symbian Belle applications.

Please excuse me I didn't understand you are talking about official developer version. I haven't heard anything about public beta versions of Symbian Belle from Nokia so far.

No problem, Leon.

The fact is that probably updating the device with one of those symbian new versions the results of any kind of development maybe unreliable.

Hope that someone reading this thread can help us with some information on previews, beta etc. :)

BTW thanks for those links.
