Dopo circa un anno dall’ultimo aggiornamento, nokia ha finalmente rilasciato il nuovo firmware per il suo modello di punta n96. La numerazione, con cui è stato identificato il firmware, risulta però leggermente diversa si tratta infatti della versione 20.050.
Molte le novità presenti nel nuovo firmware:
- Aggiunta del Client Nokia Email.
- Possibilità di associare azioni all’apertura e alla chiusura dello slide.
- Introduzione di un nuovo music Player.
- Migliorata la qualità delle foto e dei video.
- Nuove funzionalità di risparmio energetico.
- Introduzione di un nuovo tema, tra quelli preinstallati, denominato n96 Special Edition. Un tema davvero ben realizzato.
- Possibilità di inserire dei Temi Audio.
Questo firmware introduce tantissime novità e contemporanemente corregge numerosi bug. Ho appena installato il fw e sembra tutto veloce e stabile. Ricordo che, come al solito, è possibile aggiornare tramite Nokia Software Update o tramite FOTA.
