We don't link to every other blog's hardware reviews, but we do link to the best: those that are well written and insightful, rather than just being a mass of specs and photos. In this case, here's the Prodigal Fool summing up the Nokia E72 very well, both good points and bad points. In other E72 news, people are reporting a firmware update to v23.002 - comments welcome if you spot anything new. Wonder if this addresses any of the Prodigal's points?
Read on in the full article.
The latest firmware speeds up even installation over 21.XX firmwares - my region didn't enjoy the 22.XX ones, so I can't compare it to them. However a minor irritation is that now input of numbers in the mainscreen (like the steps you take to call) becomes more... sluggish.
There's no 'official' changelog for v23, but if you look at the 'unofficial' changelist, it's very apparent indeed that this is a market specific firmware update.
That is to say, it appears to fix issues only in characters, language packs, and country operator name lists etc.
So a WORD OF NOTE to all those in Europe or USA asking about this...
We might very well not see v23, and for good reason, as it is very likely we don't NEED the changes that v23 brings.
Hope this info helps Steve, if it turns out to be correct, as this certainly sounds like a Middle East/Asia and/or Australasia firmware fix, as it stands now...
Thanks, noted.
