Larry emailed us this morning to share the news that Anna was available in the US (Finally, yay!). That’s a photo he sent us above. I wasn’t sure if that was official (or a non US N8 getting update ‘early’). Yvonne from Nokia (who has been updating us on the Anna availabilities) has just emailed [...]

WMPoweruser reports that the Windows Phone Market Place has reached the 35,000 mark. The last milestone of 30k was reached about 7 weeks ago and WMPU notes a slowdown was due to the run up to the Mango update (more stringent approval, mango app requirements).

It was from iltalehti.fi, 5th most browsed website in Finland (home and heart of Nokia) according to Alexa and is the third biggest tabloid in Finland (says Wikipedia).
