Almost missed this… But we’re going with it even if we’re late a bit.

Nokia released new firmware updates for Lumia 900 owners in US and Canada, with each country getting a slightly different software. For instance, users in the US will get flip-to-silence feature; camera, battery and startup sequence performance enhancements. On the other hand, Canadians will “go home” with flip-to-silence feature, support for Contacts Share app (to send and receive business cards as text messages), bug fix for that purple hue that appeared in low-light conditions, as well as performance enhancements for proximity sensor and startup sequence.

It’s important to note that this is a 3-phase process with Zune for Windows (PC) or Windows Phone 7 Connector (Mac) prompting you 3 times to update. The whole thing takes some 30 minutes and after each part is completed you’ll get: “Success! Your phone has been updated” followed by a message “An update is available…” It really shouldn’t be a problem…

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.

    Great. Lumia is the most undervalued smartphone in the market. Now it is getting even more attractive.
