Nokia N8, E7 gets Symbian Anna in the Philippines

As promised by Nokia back in June, Symbian Anna is now rolling into devices in the Philippines — specifically the Nokia N8 and the Nokia E7.

The device update, which is about 29MB in size, can be downloaded OTA straight into the handsets (just open WiFi and go to Software Updates).

We’ve got one now installed on the Nokia E7 and works pretty well.

Do let us know in the comments if you bump into some issues or have successfully updated your handsets.

    Hi Yuga,

    I have C7 and updated the software/firmware to Anna (v.022.014). However, I’m still seeing two updates for Anna ( 1/2 and 2/2). Tried doing OTA update but it says “failed”. Any workaround for this?

      Hi Nyok,

      I had the same problem. even up to a point that OVI suite had error installing Symbian Anna 2/2.

      Here’s what I did to resolve and download the Symbian Anna 2/2 for my N8.

      step 1: reinstall the OS through software update of OVI suite (it may have an error for 2/2, if so proceed to step two).

      step 2: when the error msg for Symbian Anna 2/2 appears. just go to your phone and choose the following options:
      > Menu > Applications > Tools > Phone setup > SW update. (this is where i found the Symbian Anna 2/2 download).

      if you didn’t have an error msg from OVI Suite before, maybe you can proceed to step 2 instead (just follow the options to download in step 2)

      I think C7, and E7 has the same menu options with N8.

      good luck

      let me know how it went

      Thanks
