Well the Anna update hasn't been officially released yet however it is available to download online its the Chinese release so there is support for English and Chinese (its been available for awhile now but i didn't post the info)



Anyway here's video of the Belle update shown running on the N8 now since the Anna update still isn't here officially I guess this is still an early version of Belle



About the Clock Widget that you're seeing

there are many widgets you can choose from and they're also sizeable so that they won't take up major screen space



I like this its quite different from what's available now though and im not sure if i like it more


edit: nother video i guess Belle is out for Beta testing


by the same guy

so remember how there was the Worlds Smallest Stop Motion film made with the N8 awhile ago?

Well Nokia had 'the worlds largest stop motion' film made using the N8 as well

World's largest Stop Motion





and here's how they made it

the Belle update has been leaked




further confirming rumors that Belle will be released before the end of the year or even in October

www.dailymobile.se

لعيوووووووووونكم تحديث بيلا لجهاز n8 حصريا هنا فقط بجوال العرب - منتديات جوال العرب


supposedly there was a problem with the file uploaded though and it should be back any moment now

if you want to flash it onto ur N8s anyway it is still slightly buggy supposedly

Anna's finally being pushed out by Nokia OTA check ur devices your product code may or may not have the update available att


its been available online for awhile now (pre-release and final release) but if you've been waiting for it straight from Nokia it'll be available now or in the coming days (for your product code)

Nokia Sleeping Screen | Nokia Beta Labs



this is why I love Nokia, so many strides lately on improving the features but then Flop comes around and ruins it all


This has just been updated to include the capability of using your own Images you just look through your gallery and choose which images you want and the app will convert them like so



they've also added more pre-installed images and clock options

its a great great feature for Nok phones that should really be pre-installed on all phones instead of having to have to download it

uses like no battery

http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-sleeping-screen


also the DLNA app PlayTo has been updated as well for better functionality with xbox/ps3

http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-play-to




servers are swamped atm it would seem (probably due to the Anna update)




EDIT: Logins working and the ANNA UPDATE is Available For All Product Codes but you have to do it through Ovi Suite you can't OTA it (yet?) because its 320mb

that's odd they said they released it for all product codes

but ive also read a few people saying their product codes still have nothing

maybe they missed some



you connected your phone to your computer and then checked ovi suite?
i know the servers have been bogged down like crazy maybe you need to give it some time

im currently flashing my phone for Belle

US N8s probably won't get the update for a few more days. PR 1.2 was like that.
Ovi suite firmware update seems to be down too.

nokia says they've released them firmware for all product codes worldwide


but when you try to upgrade the firmware through ovisuite it takes about 5-10mins of "checking for updates" before ovi suite will find it

so the servers are very bogged down but it'll work just takes time



the new browser is great very smooth/responsive i have no use for Opera anymore





edit: after you've installed Anna open your Software Updater and you'll see there are 4 additional updates (2 of which are optional) ranging from 3.5-21mbs

There are a lot of mods to be found online for the N8 that makes it run snappier/smoother etc there are even more mods for the Camera to increase quality!

but I can't help but feel more secure when the mod comes straight from Nokias Damian Dinning (the guy responsible for the camera)



He has just released into Beta Labs (fastest way or else he has to attach it to a future firmware update)

Continuous Auto Focus, Updated/Upgraded Camera UI, improved Close Up mode and 30FPS

Download it here

Camera update for Nokia N8 | Nokia Beta Labs


and read about it from Damian here

Nokia N8 camera mega-update – beta test open | Nokia Conversations - The official Nokia Blog


works with Belle too if you've hacked your phone




and if you want to install Belle but are unsure on how to do it here's a video tutorial
you can get the files/apps you need from places like dailymobile.se

So Another Belle leaked today with an August 30th version date

the rumor is that its the retail version

~ CODeRUS Symbian^3 Modding Place ~: Symbian Belle for Nokia N8 v111.020.0203

you can find it @ http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?board=121.0


on a side note

GSMArena says that Belle feels like an "Almost Revolutionary" OS

yeah apparently North America hasn't gotten Anna

leaving some to assume they won't get it at all
they think Nokia is just going to batch Anna+Belle for North America


you could always just flash your phone with Anna its not hard

Weird, I was checking for updates ota since the beginning of August and managed to get the Anna update on the 28th. Says "ROGCA" on the box above the serial numbers.. safe to assume it's from Rogers? lol

So this has begun being implemented a couple months ago but with Belle and the next QT update it should be fully implemented across the board


the Cut/Copy & Paste feature has been updated in all QT Apps there's also a Magnifying lens

this is what it looks like

Not sure if you guys know about this

but there's an App called fMobi

its a Facebook app that even Nokia deems the best facebook app for Symbian (meaning they find it better than their own)

and people are saying its the best on any platform


it's just been updated to version 2.0 (which brings a tonne of updates)

developers page JiiKoo – My world of developing | Creations from my fingers


this is a video of version 1.4


lots of updates since then but he hasn't posted a video about it

^it's not that they have forgotten, Rogers is holding the update away from us, I sent a furious email to them, they replied saying Rogers developers team is testing the update, which is total bullshit. Just flash it yourself, beats waiting
