I was wondering why I have 250 emails to read this morning. Lots of hubbub again over Symbian^3 firmwares.

You guys have been emailing us that Symbian Anna is available where you are (I don’t have it yet, NSU/OTA :( )

Have you updated already?

From Nok Conv – Acknowledgement of Belle – ‘more to come’ not more countries – that’s already mentioned in other countries coming in next three weeks.

Where and when?

Countries that will receive their updates this week include the following:

Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Thailand, UAE, the UK, and more

Other countries are mostly confirmed for the next three weeks.

Enjoy your newly-refreshed phone, Symbian^3 users. And there’s more to come…

Improved text input

  • There’s also a split-screen view while you’re typing, so you can see the web pages, forms and message threads you’re replying to.

Better browser

  • The browser is easier to use and faster, and offers better compliance with recent standards.

Enhanced Maps

  • Ovi Maps now has a simpler and quicker search function.
  • It also includes public transport routes.

    No Anna in Switzerland, they probably had to get a rest and feed the donkey who hold the upgrade from finland trough the alps. Hope to see it before christmas.

    i own a grey n8, bought it last year september at mediamarkt in germany. it once had to take it there, but only to get the lower plastic hud (the one with the bottom) replaced, it broke when the n8 fell on the ground. anyways, i can’t remember what PC the n8 had before, now i do have the (what i found out so far) international swap phone code 059B6D7, which leaves me blank in regard to the anna update. tried it min. 50 times with ota, tried it with ovi suite and also software updater, both windows and mac.. nada!

    question: will the update come for those swap devices? if not, is there a way to get anna on that thing? i really like the n8, as it is the only serious choice you can make these days, but its getting more and more frustrating.. please, help out!

    When is Anna coming to North America?!?! This wait is driving me crazy… I don’t see why it would be different for different regions. I also feel like Ovi Suite should be able to handle all the requests and that they shouldn’t need to stagger the release.

    It just makes it frustrating to see others with it and knowing it’s sooo close but still sooo far. :(

    I have an N8 on Vodafone in the uk, it says I can update to anna with my pc, but I have lost my cable, will they release it for OTA (over the air)?

  9. KCN8 says:

    I’m still waiting in USA Nokia. Show us some love and send the update for those that shelled out $$$$$ for your n8 !

  10. Aussie says:

    Anna is looking good on my E6 but there arent enough apps on the Ovi store yet. Far too many apps are coming up as not available for Anna!

  11. Danu says:

    make anna update avilable to every body, stop pissing off your own costumers.
