N78-3 OTA FW UPDATE AVAILABLE FINALLY!! V12.046

Go get it now. I'm downloading v12 right now - stuck in an EDGE area so taking a while. It's a 2MB update.

Will post impressions in this thread. Others with the N78-3, the day has finally come!! Go get the update and post your thoughts here as well.

WOOOOT!! :clapping:

So the download was smooth. It asked me if I wanted to install it and warned me about doing a backup before proceeding. Then it said the phone can't be used during the update so I was aware (even in emergency) then prompted to start the process and it would involve restarting the phone.

Hit the button and it restarted to a white screen with UPDATING box and a progress bar. Looks like it's taking its time but it's moving along.

This is definitely very impressive to be able to download Firmware OTA and update without losing any data (hopefully! ).

The bar is not moving fast enough!

Ok done.

Update completed! Very very impressed. Phone booted up normal and then shortly got a little dialog that said "Phone update complete". ALL my data/apps and settings are intact and it's like nothing ever happened.

GO NOKIA!! I hope updates continue to be released this way...it's magical!

So far haven't noticed any major changes but the real test is going to be over the next few days as I use it. I'll continue to post back in this thread with any changes.

The biggest change I noticed was a far more responsive right softkey.

One thing that may have happened is menu transitions may have been disabled. If so you can re-enable them in the themes menu by pressing options.

Yes the right softkey is 1000x better now. Also Naviscroll is less sensitive so I turned it back on and it works well now..no mistaken movement.

I'm sure there are still bugs and I fully expect there to be BUT at least we're all on the same version now. :smileyhappy:
