The Nokia 5530 has received a firmware update which brings Symbian Anna style web browsing to the Symbian^1 platform. A previous report from Nokia talked about bringing he Symbian Anna UI to older handsets with the intention of unifying the Symbian experience for users across all Symbian devices, and it seems like Nokia is taking the first step towards making this a reality.
