Coming hot from the Nokia event today, the company managed to thrill all Symbian fans by introducing Symbian Anna nee S^3 Anna, which is still the Symbian^3 platform but with added features and fresh new experience for users.
As for its changes, the updated platform will include new icons, enhancements on text inputs, better web-browsing experience with its improved UI; “refreshed” Ovi Maps enabling quick searchs for users, security upgrades, and expect many more batch updates in the future. Interestingly, it has this “predictive” search when you visit its transportation / location category, and this integrates Bing for its primary search-engine.
So far, expect “Anna” to arrive on 2010+ Nokia handsets such as C6-01, C7, Nokia N7 and N8 via plugged or an OTA Update. As for the two newly revealed smartphones today – E7 and X7 – they will come preloaded with this platform on its release.

Likewise, this hints that Symbian will be far from being dead even with the launch of WP7 this year.
