Dude, first off you're totally unrealistic and second you don't know what you're talking about. I'm using an incomplete version of the leaked chinese version which has features you just said aren't coming with the update.

Why complain when the rumours don't come true? It's your naievity that lead you to believe what random websites say in order to get hits.

Who exactly told you this month, then wait for the next month all these times? Nokia? No it was not Nokia that gave you unrealistic expectations.

Learn to differ fact from fiction for a start lol.

If you actually do your research you'll find that your X10 actually is way behind when it comes to firmware updates of android, a perfect example of Nokia's lack of speed being over exagerated, and you're trying to throw that in Nokia's face? Shame on you.

Nokia don't prematurely announce firmware updates for exactly the reason you're complaining, unrealistic expectations.

Hate to say it but If the N8 is so painful for you to use you're I.Q. leaves you more suited for an iPhone.

Anna was always announced to begin release at the end of August...so we are in August but its not time yet....its coming....hopefully when they said it would

[Paul_Grenfell]

They also said N8 would start shipping in July with Anna installed..So where are they?
In fact N8s are being taken off the shelves by carriers and no longer for sale..

Nope, they said Anna will be released for all BY the end of August... And this mean before the end, not starting from the end... 

[radical24]

ok i must have mis herad Nokia's announcement of this happening when they were broadcasting from Singapore, yeah that must be it

[chanchan05]

But please remember, any announcement by Nokia would only be true for vanilla(generic) units. Any country variant or carrier branded unit may get their updates later, by a few weeks or even months.

[lillracksingen]

I see the delay in Anna preloaded on N8s in the shops interesting: Elop will make heads in Nokia roll for embarrasing him, or intentional as part of Nokia's strategy to wean us of Symbian?

[alcaloide]

Almost a year with my N8 and no updates, symbian sucks and nokia is going down every day more. Nokia is soooo slow to any process, shipping, release, update, etc. everything sucks.

After 10 years with Nokia I don't have more choice that switch to a better manufacture with a better OS.

[bumblebirra]

I thought the delay was so as to ensure that everyone (all countries/variants/branded/generic) would all get Anna at the same time instead of being released in stages as past firmware releases, which caused a lot of frustration, have been done.

[chanchan05]

@alcoloide If we're talking manufacturer, Nokia is the best. Maybe not in terms of OS but in phone build their quality is head and shoulders above the others. My 5800 is still able to compete with Galaxy S in terms of music through headphones, has better speakers as well. Furthermore, using integrated GPS, the 5800 is able to acquire my position accurately to about within 5m, but the Galaxy S using A-GPS cant even fix me correctly consistently. I still get positions 100m away from my current.

In terms of better OS, I've used both of the other OS, and my conclusion is that none one of the three (iOS/Symbian/Android) is necessarily better than the other. I have an Android phone and there are times that I really regret having went for it (my wallet does not however, got a brand new Galaxy S for cheap as there was a sale. Even cheaper than a C7, so its sort of bang for buck thing).

Sure the others have more apps, but when it comes to pure OS, it seems that iOS is simply due to hype, while Android is able to do everything that Symbian can do and vice versa as well, only thing is that they slap on better chipsets on it and makes lots of hype thru advertising and looks.

Also, the N8 has received 2 updates ever since it was released. If you have not received updates, its not Nokia's fault anymore, especially if you have an operator branded phone. Operator branded phones cannot update if the operator does not release the update for its subscribers.

[chanchan05]

@bumblebirra I have heard of no such thing. However I find it unlikely, since some operators take too much time customizing the firmware to their liking

[koolkiller]

@ HanzBlix.dude why are u getting annoyed?annoyment would have to me as u are using un official FW which is considered bad and illegal.
Have a gr8 day!

As you all know we promised to improve our update launch based on the feedback for N8 PR1.1 and we are therefore working on bringing as many variants to the market at the same time. This nevertheless needs some preparation (ie. we need to build and test the software for each variant)

[chanchan05]

@bumblebirra - that would only refer to country variants IMO, and they did not also say "all", they said as many as they could as possible. Nokia would not have any say on operator branded software as those people edit the firmware and embed their own software, and thus their software goes further testing than the ones that come from Nokia.

[bumblebirra]

God knows, what a mess really. Nokia are a victim of their own success.

[andy232]

I know this is an N8 thread, but I have a brand new E7 (LOVE IT!) from Amazon. I know Nokia said that new S^3 phones in July would ship with Anna, but I simply thought, what are Amazon going to do with all of their non-Anna stock?? So lo-and-behold, my E7 arrived a few days ago, no Anna on board. But to be honest, I don't care that much, I'm ok to wait a few more weeks, because the UI of S^3 is great and easy to use, and with a free "Anna theme" from the Ovi store, it looks really cool! I think a 1GHz processor should've been loaded on though, it is a little laggy but not so much that it really bothers me, but a little extra power would make it smooth as butter.

Looking forward to the better Calendar, Browser and updated Maps, and the carousel-style homescreens (don't forget about Maemo 5 people!) And to those people being negative about Nokia, chill out. These phones are works of art, my E7 is ridiculously cool looking, and while, yes, waiting for a major update like Symbian Anna can be frustrating, we were told it would be at the end of August, so there you go. It's not the end of August yet, so...

[chanchan05]

Well, its only recently that people became all obsessed with updates that add more features. Nokia has been providing the likes with no one pressuring them before, and now everybody is pressuring them. They shouldnt have announced Anna too early though.

[hedonistN8]

I really wish that the Symbian Anna update for my Nokia N8 comes soon... I just bought the phone last May... I'm from the Philippines. I hope Nokia reads this... Thank you very much...

[phil_on_guitar]

So nokia say they they have started shipping N8's with Symbian Anna, So why have they not released symbian Anna via the update, if it works, then surely they have no reason to hold it back. I have always used nokia phones, never had much trouble with any of the previous models I've owned, this N8 although a nice phone, it does leave me thinking, next time I just might go with another company. Bottom line is, if Symbian Anna is ready and currently being shipped, then it's ready so release it please :-)
