After a 2 week hiatus, I received my “repaired” N90 phone in the mail yesterday. Sadly enough, the firmware was NOT upgraded to the latest (which is 5.05), but instead they left me with “3.0543.4.1.” And Nokia managed to crack a small piece on the top of the phone too. Damn it!!!
I’ve been fooling around with my new, cracked, N90 and I’m not noticing any fixes. The camera still takes awhile to open, that annoying bug that locks the camera in closed mode is still there, and the phone is still heavier than most bricks. I’m so ready to swap my N90 for an N92.
Here’s an updated list of changes for version 3.0543.4.1. (source: symbianfreak, with a lot of grammar mistakes fixed by me)
