Nokia today announced two new Symbian devices, the Nokia E6 and the Nokia X7. With the new smartphones, Nokia also introduced its latest software update, known as Symbian Anna.
Inspired by Nokia’s new design philosophy, Symbian Anna delivers a new and unique user experience which makes the family of Symbian-based devices more exciting for consumers and the business opportunity with Nokia even better for developers, as these devices also power apps developed with Qt.
New software update – Symbian Anna
While the transition to Windows Phone continues, Nokia will carry on shipping smartphones based on Symbian. Nokia plans to ship 150 million Symbian devices in addition to its existing installed base of 200 million Symbian devices including 100 million Qt-enabled devices, 75 million of which are touchscreen devices.
Symbian Anna includes new, fresh icons and usability enhancements (including split-screen view while typing); faster and easier to use browser; virtual portrait QWERTY for fast typing; and refreshed Ovi Maps with simpler and quicker search as well as new public transportation routes. Both the Nokia X7 and Nokia E6 come equipped with Symbian Anna. Nokia will soon make the Symbian Anna software update available to existing users of the Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6 and Nokia E7 via OTA downloads. Running on devices powered by the Qt framework, developers can create applications for these smartphones using Qt SDK 1.1 – currently available as a Release Candidate here on the Forum Nokia website.
Symbian Anna is the first update of its kind and, in order to ensure a continuous stream of new experiences and features, Nokia is planning future software updates to its smartphone portfolio.
