From July, the Nokia N8, E7, C7 and C6-01 handsets will also be shipping with the Diana software update, while existing Nokia users will be able to get the update via a PC or over the air.
Speaking at the Nokia Connection event in Singapore, Stephen Elop, Nokia President and CEO comments: “Innovation is at the heart of our strategy, and today we took important steps to demonstrate a new pace of innovation at Nokia. It’s the beginning of a new era for Nokia.”
