Nokia New Zealand: “Symbian Anna available”?
Nokia New Zealand have a banner saying the “Upgrade to the latest Symbian Anna software now. It’s available free over the air or via PC for your Nokia C6-01, C7, N8 or E7″. It’s not “will be available” or “update when it’s available”. It says upgrade now.

My Ovi Suite says nothing is available yet – though updates don’t roll out simultaneously everywhere.
What we do know is that Anna is due for all S^3 devices this month (August 2011). A little premature from Nokia NZ? Or is it coming ‘soon’ soon? Like a non-Nokia perception of soon.
Thanks Senthil for the tip.

Here in Aus i got nothing. Will talk to some mates in NZ and see if they can comfirm.
Symbian Anna is deffinitely available for update. I UPDATED MY C7 AND IT IS BRILLIANT
I think someone just jumped the gun…or maybe something coming in the next day or so.
Just checked some systems and an official release of Anna is not available for anyone…yet.
Reminds me of when the Nokia sites had pictures of the Nokia N9 before it was launched the following day :p
lol yer! I’m enjoying the use of my “N9″ now!
lucky bastard
It says below “Stay tuned! There’s much more to come from Symbian with new updates and smartphones on their way. ”
And if you click any smartphone (for example N8) it says:
“Latest software release for Nokia N8 is 014.002 *”
What the hell is going on!
As long as it’s not on Navifirm, it is not available via FOTA or OviSuite right?
And it’s not available via Navifirm, I checked all 3 repos and each device.
I’m in New Zealand – have tried “can I update” for my N8, and no update was available.
Tsc tsc. Nokia keep trolling, folks. Hell yeah…
Nothing elsewhere or Navifirm..
its definitelY Nokia’s definition of soon
I’ll check some of my friends now. Maybe they got it.
Still 014.002
An overzealous admin pushed Publish on the site management software a bit too early I think.
Think they would have realised by now..
Soon in belgium too….

Here it say in the following months, so it’s not really a news…
it is available if you go directly to the NCC…they will install it for you…hassle free….done mine…
Really? It still is not available in Navifirm!!! Why not to release the update!!! What version is the one you have? On which phone?
so hows is it ?
What are the improvements ?
They already changed on the site to “coming soon”…
Website says coming soon now. Looks like they jumped the gun
Woah
Oh well. At least we’re in August. Can’t believe we ever expected this to appear in January.
No Update in Germany …
I have updated information about this, straight from one of the managers of Nokia here in NZ.
They did indeed “jump the gun”. What I do know however, is that Anna will be available via care centres in two weeks, with the Ovi suite update available about a week later.
For now, they are keeping the website as it is.
So it’s not coming in August afterall
There is still the link in the homepage, but it bring to a non-existing page now…

Yep , removed the offending Anna confusion..
Return to this space next month..lol..
Now they have removed from the home page too
It says “The new browser [Anna] is the best browser ever developed by Nokia”
Pretty sure N9′s is better (okay no flash support, but everything else seems better).
I remember times when i tought the update would come in April… But then i remembered it was nokia. -.-
I dont know is it nokias inability to program well when it comes to symbian or any other reason but it is a too small update to be taking so long to relase it.
I was kind of hoping that after the transfer of symbian activits to accenture updates would come faster but this is quite awful.
After the disaster of the n97 Vanilla symbian^3 should of been like belle but they realased a mideocre, unfinished 2009ish os in 2010.
Nokia had the chance to be the market leader. To blow such a chance is unforgivable, they dont deserve to succed.
I remember when we thought it was coming in January and then Q1, and then definitely Q2 and now we’re in Q3, HAHA.
yeah, alex68 showed us that video in what, November last year? It’s been a long time waiting.
Maybe that’s why Nokia pulled the early videos – as they knew it would take them almost a year to release it. When it was out, well, not much they can do.
Not that we wouldn’t have been annoyed. I mean we knew at least a new browser was coming. They said so themselves – on par with other mobile browsers (my ass).
The transfer to accenture isn’t until October…
WHEN THE HELL WILL NOKIA RELEASE SYMBIAN ANNA TO IT’S OLD USERS?????
phew.. i’m tired of waiting for this so called stupid update for symbian.. what the hell are these people doing..?
they said around the end of august everyone would’ve received any update.. but there’s no news of even the release date of the update..
I hope the other disappointed symbian^3 users also voice out along with me.. This is heights of patience testing..
Sorry Anna.. Sorry Belle.. soon i’ll be eating Mangoes.. I hope you arrive before that at least..
im just done wit my patience…enough is enough
im switching to Android
its the est thing one wants as an OS in mobile phone
no need for updates
doesnt lacks basic things (like split keyboard)
huh i hv been a nokia user since i started using mobile bt nt anymore
farewell stupid Nokia
