Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

Anybody studied the specs of the latest Nokia offering (X7)?

It runs what they call "Symbian Anna". WTF is that, and when did it happen?

Unless they've taken to renaming existing OS's to further confuse the hell outa some people, they've been dropping quiet ones.

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

It's Symbian PR2.0
(like on Android, they gave the firmware names)

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

I don't know... but hasn't Elop said that there will be no longer confusing several Symbian versions?

Perhaps we have understood this wrong. Perhaps simply no longer naming like Symbian V5.3rd, Symbian^2 or something like that?

No longer Version Numbers! We will get now female Names! :)

A Single Company begins, has success, and the uncreative managers say only: "Look at them! We should have the same system to have the same success." (never worked, but they don't know)

So google strarted with android and gave them names from cookies. Gingerbread, at example.

Microsoft (a company that knows exactly what customers wants, ever!) took names from Fruits. At example: Windows Phone 7 Mango!

Now, with a long-sighted CEO, Nokia took the only thing that is more popular than Cookies and Fruits. Now we got Symbian Anna!

Yay! Praise Elop! :D

Even I have this confusion.
Symbian^3 PR2.0 is Symbian Anna
or
The latest symbian OS is Symbian Anna (meaning no more Symbian^3/4 stuff).

Guess, will have to wait for the next name. That would clear all...

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

It's still an inferior UI wich looks kinda childish, with some benefits like the portrait qwerty virtual keyboard. Took them forever to implent that in symbian. If they hired realsportcars and the SPB crew they could fire all software engineers at Nokia. Wich they will probably when the symbian updates seize to happen..

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

I know, right! The last update that will come within the next year or two will be called Symbian Ötzi

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

Symbian Ana is PR2.0 check this link http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/01...na_aka_pr2.htm

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

It is simply a name of update. It logical that they have started using names, most people will remember it easily, not like numbers.
It took way to long to understand this by companies and google is the first one to truly start using it.

Anyway, it is for us:)

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

they anal-yzed the old symbian and formed a whole new symbian and called it "anna-l" or simply "anna"

for more details, refer to gay porn.

Re: Symbian "ANNA"? O.o
 

REALLY?!
Thats a really new fact for me. I have a big problem remembering names and faces. Numbers are no problem for me as for many others. And I'm able to sort them without any problems. I can tell you within seconds which one is the biggest and ergo the newest version.

I have a puzzle for you:

Symbian Anna
Symbian Roswita
Symbian Helga
Symbian Cintia
Symbian Doris
Symbian Fatma
Symbian Cindy
Symbian Christine
Symbian Birgit
Symbian Tamara
Symbian Barbara

Which one is the newest release?
If a app runs under "Birgit", will it work at "Helga"?!
