Any links to these comments? Would like to know what is being added/improved/broken (heh).

I hope that text entry whilst browsing gets fixed soon, posting to forums from the phone can be a pain in the butt at times.

Lot of people in that thread reporting that browsing times are greatly increased...Woo Hoo! Roll on v21

Changes so far
-faster ui experience
-faster browsing
-new option 'Breathing Light'

Most everything else is same i believe... lets see when it releases for all product-codes.

That would be a shame if that's all it is. The number 1 thing above all others that seems to disappoint people with their new 5800 is the poor image quality from the camera. Now if that was fixed in V21 it would really be something to get excited about.

no camera fix according to reports , but then the camera aint all that bad and if you need a better camera then you get a dedicated digital camera....

the firmware has now been pulled , maybe nokia are getting ready for a full distribution...

edit ...as of 10.58am, the firmware is back....

update
Navifirm has this now,
21.0.25

i agree, maybe eight for applications and eight for contacts...and the ability to have apps and contacts on at the same time..

yes definitely, homescreen needs something more. its TOOOOOOOOO minimalistic nokia... we want it to be a more of a customizable smartphone that s60 always is!

I can't wait. If the browsing speed is as good as they say, I won't mind so much about some of the other bugs, except maybe the problem my phone has of crashing out of the web browser from time to time for no reason.
