Well, here's a thing

I'm still on V12 at the moment, but managed to achieve running messaging, Gravity (Twitter app) and the native web browser simultaneously tonight. Nothing crashed - so that was good.

So as to why I'm still on V12 - VF havn't released V20 yet and the only reason I currently feel I have for jumping is if Truphone suddenly announce they are putting their full app on V20 (SIP stack enabled) phones. As they have not said this yet, I'm content to hang around a bit more.

Regards
Neil

Major versions of FW are usually 3 to 6 months apart - and the N97 Mini has only been out about a month...
(Don't get confused with V20 for the N97, it's a different piece of hardware with incompatible FW to the Mini)

My apologies - I misread your post! 😉

Unfortunately, only VF can approve V20 for release on Nokia's NSU.

You may be able to persuade your local NCC to apply V20FW now (if you list some of the V12 known bugs) without invalidating your warranty.

Your other option is de-brand yourself, but risk losing the warranty.
