Full of anticipation I bought my N96, brand new from Carphone Warehouse here in the UK (it is not network-branded), last weekend. Although this is obviously a clever piece of kit, it seems to have quite a few bugs which, disappointingly, affect the features I find most important! I hope somebody can reassure me that I have not made a mistake opting for the N96 and that it will all come good in the end....
My phone is an N96-1 with software version 11.018 with a version date of 13/09/08. It then says �Custom version: 11.018.249.2� and �Custom version date: 03/10/08� and �Type: RM-247�.
The problems I have are:
1) The snooze does not work on the alarm clock
2) The camera focus is quite poor (my 3MP work camera produces a crisper picture)
3) The call log keeps erasing from time to time (I have the call log set to 30 days)
4) When I go to set a new �To Do� note, I quite often get an error message similar to: �One or more alarms missed due to time change�
I know there is a new release (version 12.xxx) but when I try to download it, either over the air or by cable link to my PC, I just get a message saying that there is no firmware update available for my phone.
My questions are:
Are these issues likely to be resolved by a firmware update?
When will I be able to update my phone�s firmware?
Sorry for the long post, but I am quite disappointed/frustrated and would like to sort these things out ASAP. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help and make me feel better about my purchase!
