Official NOKIA N8 thread

The Symbian Anna update is versioned 22.014. Updates are available based on device product code. Type *#0000# into your N8, note the product code and see if it appears in this list. If so, the Anna update is currently available for your device! :D

This explains my problem. My product code is still not in the list. How long before all the products are covered? Anyone?
 
Not sure how true but acording to gadget.co.za a week or so beofre Belle is out 'officialy' at least


Nokia counts down to something new
Nokia is running a countdown clock on its official Facebook page promising "something new on Symbian” due to be announced. The announcement is expected to be the next update to the operating system, codenamed 'Belle.' According to reports, the page had previously promised a "Belle teaser,” though the wording has now been changed.


Pocket-lint.com notes that Nokia is also planning to release three new smartphones supporting the new platform: Cindy (Nokia 600), Zeta (Nokia 700) and Helen (Nokia 701). All three are expected to feature a 1GHz processor.


The arrival of Belle will come just a week after the current Symbian version - codenamed 'Anna' - was made available for download. New features on Belle are thought to include an Android-style notifications bar (something also mimicked in Apple's iOS5).


The naming convention of the Symbian updates appears to be an alphabetical list of girls' names, in a similar vein to Android's alphabetical list of confectionary delights (of which 'Ice Cream Sandwich' - version 2.4 - is the latest). However, while we may yet see Symbian 'Catherine,' the fact that Nokia is in the process of phasing out Symbian in favour of Microsoft's Windows Phone means we are unlikely to ever meet 'Zoe.'

Really? so the pull down bar with status updates and activation settings is not directly from android?
Google are smarter than that, they are probably playing it out.

The Symbian Belle UI has nothing "stolen" from Android!

Pull-down notification area? On Maemo before Android.
Resizable widgets? On Maemo before Android.
Flat menu? On Maemo before Android.

And Maemo was developed with support from Nokia.
 
Back to Anna. Updated my E7 to Anna and what a difference it has made!
1) The wifi works much better. It connects to my known wlans much better than before = less cellular data.
2) Battery life seems to have gone up 1.5 times. Great!
3) The homescreen/menu seems to flow so much better. They really optimized it well to work with the processor.
4) New maps 3.06 (I installed 3.08 after updates) works better. Quicker GPS sat fix and works flawlessly + big up to LIVE traffic report/avoidance
5) Might not be a huge +, but I'm loving the new icons
6) Office + Adobe working much better. Used to have slight delays using these (and other apps). Seems to have gone away.
7) Calendar improvement good +1
8) The photo gallery seems to be much quicker to flow through

Have 2 E7's in the household. 1 MTN and 1 Vodacom. Updated the MTN easily through OVI Suite today. My vodacom was done through Navifirm/pheonix using a euro variant. I couldn't wait.
