Nokia N8 camera update arrives with continuous auto focus, 30 fps videoThe wait is over. Our friends at Nokia Beta Labs have just released an update to the N8’s native camera application.

Nokia has been slipping Symbian Anna onto new phones for sometime but if you’ve got a Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01 or Nokia E7 bought before it was minted, today’s your lucky day. Nokia has begun rolling out the Symbian Anna update to those phones via Ovi Suite or as an over-the-air update.

Symbian Anna gives your phone’s UI an overhaul with new icons, split-screen messaging and a portrait mode virtual QWERTY keyboard. Nokia Maps also gets an upgrade with improved search and Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter integration. There’s also upgraded browser which Nokia says will load pages faster and make them easier to navigate. If you’ve got a Nokia C7, the Symbian Anna update also activates its NFC functions.

Oh Nokia. Just when the N9 gave us hope that Nokia had turned over a new design leaf, some leaked photos of the Nokia N5 make us realise that it is business as usual over in Espoo.
