Symbian Anna nu tillgänglig för nedladdning

Från och med idag är det möjligt att ladda ned den senaste mjukvaruuppdateringen för Symbianbaserade smartphones – Symbian Anna. Symbian Anna innebär ett rejält lyft vad gäller användarupplevelsen för dig som äger en Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01, eller Nokia E7. En förbättrad browser, utökad säkerhet, uppgradering av Nokia Maps och ett nytt gränssnitt är bara några av de nyheter som Symbian Anna medför.

Nokia rekommenderar att uppdateringen genomförs via en dator med hjälp av programmet Nokia Ovi Suite. Innan man uppdaterar via Nokia Ovi Suite bör man säkra sitt innehåll(bilder, meddelanden, musik etc.) med en backup, då denna information annars kommer att gå förlorad genom denna metod. Det är också möjligt att genomföra uppdateringen genom FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) men mjukvaruuppdateringen är så pass stor och processen görs med fördel via Nokia Ovi Suite.

Symbian Anna now available for download

Espoo, Finland – Symbian Anna - the latest software update for Symbian smartphones - is available for download starting today*.

Symbian Anna significantly enhances the user experience on the Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01 and Nokia E7.

“Nokia’s Symbian smartphones are used by millions of people around the world every day, addressing specific consumer needs and providing choices at many price points," said Ilari Nurmi, Vice President at Nokia. “Symbian Anna represents a significant update to the experience those users have and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to Symbian, which will see up to 10 more phones introduced over the next 12 months, further updates to the user experience and support for the software until at least 2016."
