Video: Symbian Anna Software Update: Overview of New Features (Changelog)
Another new video from Nokia about Symbian Anna. A lot of you have already been updating to this today as Anna has officially been released. Middle of August start, hopefully more people will get it by the end of August (though if your phone is locked to a network, it may take some time)
You can view a changelog over at http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/13196_Symbian_Anna_now_available_for.php
There’s about 18 things there listed. Perhaps the other 32+ (to make it the 50+ update) is part of point 18 “Over 100 under-the-hood optimisations and bug fixes. In general this means you’ll notice both smoother and faster operations during usage.”.
It’s a shame after waiting so long THIS is what we’re seeing, especially as Belle brings a lot more of the visual changes – which is what everyone has been wanting from Symbian for so long.
Ah well be glad that one part of the wait is over. You can now start waiting for Official release of Belle. Note that it may be available sooner than you think. At least, not the epic wait he did for PR2.0/Anna.
Enjoying Symbian Anna?

Anna is cool…stable…fast.
Belle will be the ‘icing on top’!!
FINALLY. Someone (including the writers on this blog – Jay) who is NOT complaining about things.
Such a relief. Thank you.
Jay – learn something here please.
i.e. “It’s a shame after waiting so long THIS is what we’re seeing,” – which can be summarised as whinge whinge, whine whine, complain, ungrateful, ungrateful.
Anyone complaining about Anna should have their N8 (etc) taken away and forced to use a Google Nexus or some early HTC WinPho shit for a whole year. Then come crawling back to Symbian and Nokia in humble gratitude.
“Jay – learn something here please”
God, you manage to sound like a prick in every post.
Got my Anna.
But no split screen view
Indonesia variant.
Any idea?
Yes…uninstall Swype from ur phone
I don’t have swype.
Other way?
I have splitscreen in browser, but not conversations like the video shows… Grrrr
Me too, strange ;(
I had that problem, but a factory reset took care of that.
Factory reset doesn’t help.
Hard reset doesn’t help
me too i tried it it failed!!
the slipt screen is NOT avaliable to asain cv,
should i go over the air or via Ovi to update ? Benefit ?
Over the web is better than over the phone…
i mean via PC (System)
waiting my battery full of charging to update.
Browser is still shitty, but other things are good.
far better than before but…
Updated OTA. Over PC, no updates were shown! Not sure why…
First thing I noticed:
1. The buttons on bottom remains there when I shift btw 3 home screens
2. The pictures on home screen are now more bigger. My own picture actually went outside screen…
I have the same problem! but it only gives me the option, on my phone, to update over pc. How did you do it OTA!?
Now I can finally use the office WLAN. Used to totally freeze my E7 if I ever tried to connect to it.
Is there going to be another update scheduled after Belle?
Presumably another name beginning with ‘C’ ???
Guys, does it have built-in split screen swype?
No
Bleh…
may be cindrela …..?
Ha ha, but I’ll left Louboutin instead.
My name sorry
Glad to see you guys got Anna. I’m still with my X6 waiting for MY update for the browser. Jay do you know what other features the 5th edition update will bring? Thanks
AFAIK you’ll have to get this firmware update using the latest OVI Suite on your computer, it cannot be installed using OTA method, or maybe it’s not available for your product code.
Sorry, it’s not yet available for X6. My mistake.
No problem Andre, thanks for trying
.
Do you have a changelog for this update or know any other new features? Thanks for your help
anyone here knows if where this update will be available in saudi arabia?thanks!
updated in uae ota
3 more updates available over at OTA for anna(probably apps)-
*symbian anna update(1/2) 21mb
*symbian anna updete(2/2) 16mb
*social(optional) 3415kb
PS-I’ve already got anna version 24.1
same here, 3 more updates, Ovi suit
24.1
Why no split screen keyboard and portrait qwerty???
It does have portrait qwerty(default is T9 but in settings you can change it to qwerty) and the keyboard is splitscreen in most places
I updated to anna!
but the web browser shows an ERROR on every webpage i try to go
“Browser unable to connect to website”
whereas i use Opera Mobile, there is no problem.
what should i do?
soft reset.
a hard reset should be even better, If you know how.
okay.i’llo try dat out.thanks
“Enjoying Symbian Anna?”
yes yes, HELL YES!

Hello Anna..I have been longing for you babe..haha!

my c7 restarted atleast 10 tomes after updating to anna.
