For Nokia N8 owners over in India there’s been a few rumours flying around for a while now that the Symbian^3 smartphone would at some point see a firmware update although up until now there wasn’t any confirmation of such a firmware update.

However, according to an article over on Techtree by Prasad Naik, Nokia India has now given a little confirmation via their Twitter account when responding to a query by a user which states “@nerrajvohra Hey Neeraj, Nokia N8 users an expect a firmware update sometime in Jan. We’ll keep you posted.”

So it would appear that the Nokia N8 in India will see an upgrade in firmware at some point in January. But Nokia India didn’t stop with the announcement of a firmware update for the Nokia N8 and in another tweet announced that the Nokia C6 will launch in India in January as well.

Nokia India tweeted…”@Vaibhavo209 Hey Vaibhav, Nokia C6-01 will be available by January.” So again no solid date but it does confirm that the Nokia C6 will release sometime in January and is the first Nokia device to use Nokia Clear Black Display tech, an explanation video of which can be viewed (here)
