Finally i get up this morning and my laptop is saying V25 for my N8 is available

059D059 - Silver Telstra (i believe) I can't see the screen as Nokia suite is currently updating it.

15 mins remaining woohoo

My phone was connected via bluetooth when i warned me of this update, but required USB to actually do it... Now i thought i'd just use OTA which doesn't work...  So i'm using USB method now.

25.007 Nokia test screen just appeared.

- Cheers and FINALLY~!!!!

Can't wait.

059D776

its looks like you have software version 11.012 on your phone is that right.??? You may have to take it to Nokia to have that updated. Or send your product code to Skyee in a PM. But that was a really old version. I'm guessing you have never updated the phone, if that version is correct.

[jlangmaid]

i had v11 as Telstra never approved an update after that. I had a feeling that since i couldn't update over the air that everyone else would have issues.

Should i have this update or is it a accident?

Fact is my product code is that of the picture and i legitimately updated via Nokia pc suite.

That's right - 011.012 from 2010-09-18 - I've been trying to update via Ovi quite regularly in the 12 months that I've had the phone, but no joy.

@Danbryant78

059C199 is a special "My Place" edition N8 released by Telstra. I'd be surprised if an update was ever released for that.

[Danbryant78]

So am I absolutely stuck with what I've got? or can Nokia force some sort of update on it if I kick up a stink?

ok so heres the news from telstra

TELSTRA:

There are a couple issues to cover here:

1. The N8 Anna software was approved last Thursday 24th November
2. We have followed-up with Nokia and they are expected to make the software available on the Ovi site from this Friday 2nd December,  but are requesting they bring this date forward for you
3. The updating of the upgrade page is being reviewed – we have engaged with the Digital team to improve this process.

Once again, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.

[andrewaussie]

os yes the update is coming for all telstra varients including 059C199

[ajaydavidson]

Good news Andrew. Finally all will be able to use Anna.

[jlangmaid]

I don't understand why i got it then. Right place at the right time?

Anyway, not sure why my phone is now using 2 battery charges a day and i'm not even using it! Thought Anna was more conservative???

Very happy with the webbrower

Battery life with Anna can be resolved by following 7 steps outlined when you google how to increase Nokia N8 battery life. I have tripled my battery life at least and I make huge amounts of calls for business. Black screen with out wallpaper helps icons stand out and conserves heaps of battery power. Dont know why I ever put up with the confusion of wallpapers and colour. Turn off auto hook up of WLANS,  turn off Blue tooth and close all apps when not in use and if you run in power saving mode and turn it off when you dont want it to time out within 10 seconds you will be amazed at the battery life. I am charging at nite, making 40 to 50 busines calls during the day, some of these 10 minutes plus and getting to 7.30 at nite with 70% plus battery life. No frills but no power worries, Love N8, love battery life and love the simplicity and clarity and love Anna. It is called management of your phone and mine is lean and mean but I can do everything I want at my command. My battery outlasts Iphones and others around me. Yesterday I played music for 6 hours constant with the FM transmitter turned on and my batter got down to 51%. When managed properly this phone is awesome.
