A while back, when the N78 got its first OTA firmware update, most of the N78-3 (NAM) users were angry and annoyed (though not necessarily astonished) to find that the U.S. version of this new candybar was not showing any update. Well, Nokia has heard your replies (or gotten off its butt) and released the firmware update for the N78-3 NAM, only available OTA.
While details are still fuzzy as to what’s new, mobilehavoc at HowardForums, has posted somewhat of a user-observation-based changelog:
- Naviscroll sensitivity tweaked. I had it turned off. Turned it back on and it’s actually usable now! It’s not as sensitive so you don’t have accidental movement when trying to press down. Loving having this back.
- Right softkey 1000x better with response. Now everytime I press the right softkey it registers correctly. With v10 firmware it would sometimes not register no matter what. Huge improvement there.
- Music player seems to keep proper track of podcasts for resume. i.e. You are listening to something, phone reboots/turns off etc. and you go back to it, it will resume where you left off. This didn’t work well with v10. I listen to podcasts a lot so this is a great feature for me.
If you find anything else, please let us know in the comments section! If you have an N78-3, you can check for the firmware update by pressing *#0000# from your standby screen, and choosing ‘Check for Update‘.
