Nokia launches countdown to something new on Symbian Can’t wait until the latest version of Symbian hits your Nokia smartphone? Or looking forward to the introduction of new handsets that run on Symbian Belle? It looks like you won’t have to wait in the dark anymore. Nokia has updated its official Facebook page with a very nice looking countdown and the message “It’s almost time to try something new… something new on Symbian”. With the leaked version of the update already in the wild, there’s a chance that this will be the countdown to the official release of the update or the release of some new Symbian Belle-powered handsets.

But since the company is being tight-lipped about the whole issue, we’ll just have to wait to find out. Good thing it’s not going to be a very long wait. Any Symbian/Nokia fans out there anticipating the release of Belle? Check out the official Nokia Facebook page.

Today, Facebook remains the leader in social networking, but most importantly, it is the top online identity provider as the overwhelming majority of Facebook users have registered using their real identities.If you have a Facebook account, you can use Ubergizmo's Social Reader.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had.
