Few weeks ago we wrote about the new firmware being available for the Nokia N96. Well, the same firmware is now also available for the NAM version (N96-3 NAM – RM-472) of the N96, allowing users in North America to update their beloved smartphone and consequently make the device more stable.

Changes/improvements made from MCU SW v11 to v12 include:

  • Switch 4.0 – improved switch application to transfer user data from/to other devices
  • Still image quality is improved, with fixes for color haziness and motion blur that appeared under certain conditions
  • Improved overall Bluetooth interoperability
  • Now compatible with Nokia Email service (available as separate download)
  • If user sets brightness to maximum value, the display backlight now does turn back on after screensaver mode
  • The device auto-lock no longer locks the device while viewing or recording videos
  • SMS no longer gets auto-converted to an MMS message if there are more then 20 recipients
  • Music Player “Refresh Library” no longer hangs if General Settings Date separator is set to “:”
  • Now only one message alert tone is played per synchronization with Mail for Exchange, instead of one per message
  • Fix for issue with alarm snoozing
  • Theme no longer jumps back to default theme after using USB mass storage mode
  • CSHelp texts are now updated to resolves several identified issues

Want it? The latest firmware for the N96 NAM is already through the Nokia Software Updater from where you should be able to update it pretty easily.
