Nokia rolling out updates to older Symbian handsets
Symbian Anna, the latest update to Symbian^3, brought a lot of new and improved features including an overhaul to the browser, and some of those are ready to hit older handsets, running versions of the platform prior to Symbian^3. Those include Symbian 3.2 devices like the Nokia E72 and Symbian 5.0 handsets like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
The first major feature coming with the update is Browser v7.3 coming with a clear UI and improved performance. Secondly, 3.2 devices will get Ovi Maps 3 SR4 with indoor positioning through Wi-Fi and travel recommendations, while 5.0 phones will end up with Ovi Maps 3 SR6 bringing public transport lines and check-ins to social networks. Finally, all the phones will get a set of emoticons to spice up messaging.
