V2.1 Firmware update available Mon 1st Feb

thanks for posting, but where's the skype support! that is long overdue....

would love to have a look at the full changelog when its available

probably have to wait months for it to reach my unbranded code, bah.

Sums up remaining interest in this phone:

So we have the long awaited (since semi official rumours of Dec release) announcement of V2.1 fix to fix them all and basically the reaction is zip.

Apart from couple long standing and well versed power contributors and a few sulking recidivists like me (and others stuck on contract) seems many have moved on to pastures new. The thread is getting quieter seems to me, it happens to all handset specific threads but this seems to me also a somewhat early withering.

Well, that's next weekend sorted for me then! 😉

I bought the phone, but I don't belong to any of the categories you mention, and I still like it a lot. I just expected the update yesterday (1/28).

I hope V21 has fixes for the default ring tone issue, better RAM management and Maps 3.3 built into it.
Cheers.

I am not sure Maps 3.3 will be built-in with the FW, as it's quite a big App.
However, Maps is now freely downloadable now so it should not matter too much. 😉

Like GJW i don't belong in any category you mention, I don't post very often but i log into the forum a couple of times a day just to catch up with discussions. I didn't acknowledge this thread as i had already read it on the Nokia forum, maybe it's the case for other AAS readers too (although i appreciate the thread Snoflake i really do) and like many who are happy with their phones i'm looking forward to this "mini" update and all the future updates ...... like i did over the course of the 2/3 years i spent with my N95.

I am looking forward to a fix for 'Don't chuck you battery out every other day'.

I think the N95 changelog was the last one I seen aswell. Someone did mention releasing one on Nokia Disscussions I'll see if I can find the thread.

Hmmm, a new FW update eh? I'm not gettign too excited, as last time I had to wait around two weeks after v20 was released before I could access it, but will try it anyway tomorrow.

As with ajeet, I do hope it resolves the default ring tone bug AND the call answering bug, those two are the things I'd like sorted.

Hopefully, if people do update tomorrow, can we look forward to a very quick review for those of us who might not get access to it straightaway?

TIA.

From what i understand, Skype will be added after V21 via the internal Software Update in your Apps folder.

• Improved call reliability - Might tackle the default ringtone and "unable to answer" problems some people have been having
• Smooth touch screen scrolling - My applications list gets a little juddery when I try to scroll the first time I enter the folder because it's quite long. I wonder if this sort of thing is being dealt with
• Browser improvements - I hope "browser improvements" mean they've stopped it crashing and have made Mass Memory the default cache location
• Music player improvements - Mine is ok but maybe slow at times. I guess they're speeding it up
• Improved image and video stability - Camera application improvements?

Far longer than that for me, but we'll see 😊

What I dont understand is why people get shirty over the fact that the new firmware didnt get released on the 28th - considering Nokia never officially announced it was to be released then (all "rumours" posted by various people).

It's arrived, but it's not up there for me, well done Nokia AGAIN!
