The update is available for Romania too, C6-01 got the update today over the air. Unfortunately, at this time the servers are down and I can't manage to get the update for the N8. Still, it's been a long wait...what's a couple more hours

Well, just got the update for the N8 via Nokia Software Updater. At last...

Well, first impresions are:

-The UI is faster, more responsive, the way it should have been from the start. I can't find any lag even after I've installed a few applications;
- Great overall speed increase;
- The browser still loads slow when it comes to flash content, though the UI is noticeably faster;
- I did find battery life on the C6-01 better, didn't have the time to test it on the N8 though;
- Some improvements in the picture gallery;

I will be posting more detailed impressions as I will test the phones further...

I'm quite disappointed with the browser, I was expecting more

Also, there will be another separate update just for the N8, to bring continuous auto-focus in video mode and multiple UI and Camera tweaks. The update is due on monday.
I will keep you informed.

What a nice news

My N8 came from UK, I'm going to try to see if there is any update

Can you please tell me if it's better with NSU or via OTA?

Thanks

@anfetamina It's recommended you install the new software update via NSU.

I will reinstall it on C6-01 via NSU asap as it's not available via NSU atm.

!!!!NOTE : After you update to ANA it's recommended you check again for updates as there are some parts + social app that you will get afterwards via MENU-APPLICATIONS-SOFTWARE UPDATE . Best of luck for all you "updaters"

I thought Symbian Anna was excellent on the E6 which was also a great device. Except the poor keyboard

MFire Thanks

I made the update via NSU and I check everything you recommend I made all the updates

I Think that Nokia Sleeping Screen came with this update or I have to install it? Because I can't find it on my phone, can you help me?

Bonovox did you test it the E6? Because I have a friend you told me that E6 have poor quality and E72 and E71 are better, did you confirm?

Thanks

Oh well, both our N8-00 and E7-00 work without any problems, so we can wait......
