Nokia Belle FP1 update rolling out for the 701, 700 and 603

Nokia Asia announced that the Nokia 701, 700 and 603 have started receiving the Belle Feature Pack 1 update, which Nokia promised in March. Nokia's global account is silent on the matter, so we don't know if the rollout is happening in Asia only or worldwide (maybe Nokia is preoccupied with the launch of the Lumia 610 NFC right now).

Anyway, Feature Pack 1 for Belle is what the Nokia 808 PureView will launch with and includes some cool updates for these older phones. You get an overclock of the processor to 1.3GHz, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Headphone, 20 new widgets, a better browser, changes to the multitasking and to the notification area.

User reports have it the Nokia 603 did indeed update - one lucky user already installed the update and shared the new look of the task manager. For comparison, we're including an old screenshot (pre-FP1).

If you have one of the three Nokias (the 500 isn’t invited to the Belle FP1 club yet), check for updates - either from the PC Suite or from the phone itself and be on the lookout for software version 112.xx.xxxx. That's Feature Pack 1 and if you do have it, drop a line in the comments with your model and country - other readers will appreciate the info.
