Not releasing it to Brazil is a huge let down for me. I’ve been waiting for months till the Symbian Anna come out, and now I can’t update.

Great…

And yes, Brazil is a huge nokia market. And that came out as a lack of respect to us.

Nokia boasting of how many phones they sold and how many people never helped anyone in any way.

Once a manufacturer starts boasting numbers rather than keeping their platform interesting then you know something is wrong.

I don’t care how many Nokia phones are out there fact of the matter is Nokia where so proud of their number, they forgot that their phones where getting worse and people bought them not because they are good but because they are cheap.

You are thinking very short term here Ninja. The fact of the matter is that Symbian was losing ground to the competition. The user base you constantly bring up is there because for a time, Symbian was pretty much the ONLY smartphone platform that meant anything. Now other platforms have risen and are arguably (I say that b/c people have diff. needs)better. People have jumped ship. You can’t sustain a “leadership” role if people are constantly leaving. There will come a time where the competition will be even w/ Symbian in userbase #s. What are you going to do then? Reminisce about how in the past you once had 2.5 times more userbase than the competition?

So, yeah, you do need respect otherwise you risk becoming irrelevant.

Concerning the update…good job Nokia and FINALLY!

You don’t need respect when you’re installed base is 2.5 times that of your competitors and will remain out in front for at least 2 or 3 years even if no more Symbians were sold from today (remembering in fact another 150 million are due to be sold).

ron, i suffered a minor annoying glitch with my own update on c7. It’s easy to fix though.
First, back up you’re entire data from mass memory and phone storage to pc. Also back up messages, contacts etc. Then go to settings>phone>phone management>factory settings>delete and restore.
This will reset your device while keeping nokia preinstalled applications intact. After restarting you can restore your data and it will be good as new.

The fact that an update as insignificant as Symbian Anna (compared to other OS’s at least) shows Nokia’s strong brand value is there, battered but still there.
