PS> I'm on an iPhone 3GS now. N95 is wayyy past its prime.]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/So true, I have no idea why anyone still buys Symbian devices when the Pre, iPhone and any Android device are so clearly much better choices in terms of ease of use, stability and applications.]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
Back on topic: Update installed alright, but oddly, my theme was changed]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
IMHO Android, without all of those custom built UI's that are appearing now like motoblur or whatever, looks dreadful. Almost like a 1997 linux desktop... Looks like its built on top of a NeXT with GTK+Qt+Swing+SWT mixture of UI.]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/I was also very happy with my N95. But that was 3 years ago, before the Pre, the Hero and the iPhone. Now I expect much more. Which is why all current Nokia smartphones are pretty much shit. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
But damn, all the firmware updates for the N97 this week is making me really dislike Samsung, who failed to deliver a new firmware for the i8910 after promising to do so by the end of January. Thank goodness for bootloaders. (and since this post is about the N97, thank goodness for good processors + ample RAM)]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
Might be rough now, but it's always and rapidly improving which counts more than anything.]]>Feb 1st 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/Symbian touchscreen phones -> shit.
Symbian non-touchscreen phones -> awesome.

Phones like the E72 are incredibly good.]]>Feb 1st 2010 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
S60 might very well be but Symbian isn't. S60 != Symbian. Symbian is OS, S60 is UI.]]>Feb 1st 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
Well to be fair, the non-touch version of S60 is the best implementation of Symbian I've used. UIQ for example is much worse, though both look pretty old nowadays.]]>Feb 1st 2010 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
You can not have a normal conversation? You need to label people as fanboys? I dont know why all this hate. Just because you were down ranked?

Seriously, grow up and stop acting like a jerk. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/Feb 1st 2010 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/Feb 1st 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/

"It has been downright annoying over the last year or so hearing podcaster after blogger after analyst from North America all proclaiming that Symbian is dead, that Nokia is dying, and that Apple (and to a lesser extent Android and RIM) is the future, a runaway success."

Either direction it goes, there is WAY too much hate flowing through Engadget. We get all fucked up and emo whenever some bashes our OS. Seriously, we treat it like it's race and culture.

"@Xing Moron! It has full GPS and bluetooth support and the latest and greatest WIFI specs! what the fuck are you talking about? You are just an angry Apple hater, so just shut the fuck up!"

Additionally, if all the people complained to Engadget to block out iPad posts, could not they do the same for anything else they don't like?

Things that i´ve noticed:
- Main theme has changed, for better.
- After booting there´s 58 mb free ram / idle
- Kinetic scroll is smooth and the transitions are fast.
- Gps and navigation works very good outdoors even when is snowing / cloudy ( almost max. signal)

It's good to see that they're still working hard on fixing things, although, I don't know what you could possibly fix with the already stellar call quality. I've never had any issues with that.

Eh... this is about the N97's new firmware. I think you posted on the wrong thread. N82 != N97

Get it together, Tekky]]>Feb 1st 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/n97-firmware-update-v21-0-045-ready-to-download/
- Looks like I have more memory available on boot (~53M). Definitely more responsive. Screen orientation changes faster as well.

- The black theme (which I use) has been improved. The background has been changed to black and the gradients (for selected items) look better and sharper. The widgets now have a light grey background and it looks like they got rid of the silly black outline. The UI looks more polished now so I'd say good stuff all around.

- It nuked my music playlists. Again. v20 was the first firmware update that did this and I lost about 10 or so playlists. Thankfully, I only created 2 after installing v20 (due to laziness), but I hope in the future, when they make any changes to the music player, nothing happens to playlists.

- Got a bit of extra space on C: I had 14.4MB left before the install. Now I have 16.7MB.

Still poking around but it seems rather nice so far.]]>Feb 1st 2010 5:34PM
