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.

Culturismo says:
Comes too little too late for me. Sold the N8 & E7 and am loving the Nexus S. Sure its nice
that Anna is out but short of Maps there wasnt too much exciting about the UX. you can also kiss Google services integration or app dev goodbye. I’ve pretty much accepted there won’t be many relevant apps for the N9, I hope its browser is punchy enough to DO IT ALL. enjoy your dated underwhelming ‘update’
tonydl says:
done with update…i saw 2 more anna updates, did it also. Then upon start up…’contact retailer’. After 3 tries, nag OK naman. Scary event. Wag na sana umulit.
e says:
i just updated mine today and it works fine, faster and new look… I think theres just a problem in pinching the screen in zooming in and zooming out a web browser, it will work once then after few attempts it will stop from zooming in or out.. Anyone here have the same problem after the upgrade?
louie6380 says:
Quickoffice is gone after the update in my N8???
Any idea anyone?
Dredd says:
this update solves the tint issue of the n8?
caloy says:
do you need to back-up your files before updating?
e says:
before the update my n8 only have a trial version of quickoffice, meaning i can only view office docs. But after the anna update i have a full version of quick office, i can create new office docs aswell. I think the full version of quick office is bundled with anna. It is located at application/office/quickoffice…
For tint issue, i never had a tint issue on my n8, i think thats for samsung galaxy s2.. Right yuga?

Just updated my C7 yesterday after got it from nokia care :D, now waiting for Belle.
I saw hacked Belle version but i’ve learn my lesson my C7 crash after trying to downgrade from hacked Anna to PR1.2 good thing my phone is still under warranty :D
Marvin says:
why is it d nagpapakta ung update sa N8 ng friend ko. it only shows N8-00 Device Software?? i guess this not Symbian Anna. any inputs?
kenneth says:
after updating my c7 with the official anna from navifirm+, i love my phone more and its very responsive. you wont love nokia if you’re really a hater of the brand. they maybe late but they’re trying their best to please us. next great thing would be the symbian belle
jonas says:

martin says:
after upgrading to symbian anna for the first time, in the softwsre updates there’s another set of symbian anna updates 1/2 and 2/2. Any of you guys encountered problems installing those other sets of updates?
RaGe says:
does anyone plays AntSNES and gPSP on their N8 coz I need to check first if it will affect the apps when I update to Anna
has anyone tried if it’s still working?
thanks

florence says:
wow. I heard a lot of GREAT feedbacks with nokia phones updated to Symbian Anna. I wanna have my nokia n8 very very soon! :)
florence says:
Sir Yuga! Any idea kung magkano na lang po yung Nokia N8 ngayon? :))
Orio says:
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?

Puta naman Nokia sucks with the fucking Symbian!!!!
