Nokia has clarified that there will be some Symbian announcements on April 12th, but not in the form of a webcast or any other kind of presentation. A lot of websites published about an event when an online flyer was first seen on Mad for Tech, then reported by Engadget. I’m not expecting much, but I’m still looking forward to the announcements.

A Nokia Exec told Hindustan Times (HT) that Nokia is planning to release 12 more smartphones in 2011. We could even see some of these phones this month. Don’t expect any Nokia Windows phones, though. Those devices probably won’t come out until next year. Nokia expects to sell millions of Symbian devices in years to come, so I’ll assume most of the 12 upcoming smartphones this year will be running that OS.

When I asked one of my very reliable sources to comment on the T-Mobile Nokia C7 Tiger rumor, all I got was a smiley face. Perhaps what we just discovered tonight is more helpful. The Nokia C7 recently hit the FCC and its manual directly mentions T-Mobile as the carrier not once, but twice. Take a look.

The first planned Nokia MeeGo device was rejected by operators because of a flimsy keyboard, according to TechCrunch’s unnamed source. It was originally scheduled for announcement late last year. I’m having a hard time remembering any Nokia device with a loose keyboard! Nevertheless, TechCrunch says a keyboard-less MeeGo device could be announced tomorrow at Mobile World Congress.

Symbian software update 1.1 started to roll out and Nokia Conversations posted the changes. The update is available from today for the Nokia C7 and will be available for the Nokia N8 and C6-01 next week. My initial reaction to changelog is, “That’s it?” Take a look at the list after the jump.
