Finally, all you N81 8GB owners that have been stuck on Firmware V11 for what seems like forever, can now, finally update via The Nokia Software Updater. V21.0.008 is now available for most Product Codes. Normal N82 owners may also have an update available, so if you do, please let us know! Thanks.
You can also check your Product Code online here to see if the Update is available, before you connect your N82 up to your PC.
As you can see from the image on the left hand side, I have now installed V21 onto my N81 8GB. I can confirm improvements to both Navi Wheel, resulting in smoother, more positive feedback, and also now, the N81 gets N96 style Transitions, with smooth glide menu navigation cursor, maximize, and minimize menu opening, and closures. Very impressive.
I have also noticed, that now, when you open up the gallery, it automatically opens up viewing in landscape mode, and enables Navi Wheel smooth navigation through your various images, and videos.
As to the camera, there is obviously still no auto-focus, and as of yet, cannot find any improvements within the camera function, still quite poor, which is a shame.
Bluetooth, and Wlan however appear to have been improved dramatically, with improvements to being able to find devices much further away than before. Bluetooth now, finds a couple of my neighbours handsets, which it did not before, and WIFI seems much more stable.
