Nokia has actually unveiled the updated firmware version for its N96 model before they did the same for the N79 and N85. Yeah, we missed it, but it’s here now, nonetheless.
As usual, the latest firmware fixes many of the known bugs from the previous firmware, ensuring the device is more stable than before. In addition, some of the existing applications are updated, and there are also some new apps included with the firmware upgrade.
For instance:
- Nokia Email client and Mail for Exchange (MfE) is now preloaded on the device
- Settings Wizard has reached version 5.0
- Active Standby Email Plug-in is included to show new emails on Active Standby screen
- Audio Themes are supported
- Slideshow can be used as wallpaper
- WiFi Protected Setup
- Support of IAD (Independent Application Delivery) – allows certain apps to be updated independently over the air.
And the list goes on. You can get the full release log from Spazio Cellulare… As always, we advise you to push the trigger and update your N96.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
