Hi all,
I thought i will post some of my experiences with the new firmware which i updated recently thro NSU.
Good points:
1.I have not had even one freeze and hangup after updating.
2. The GPS signal on Garmin mobile is just amazing, i get a satellite lock under 1 min with it and after that i can even close the slide without losing the signal.
3. The buggy startup and shutdown is much quicker.

Not so good points:
1. The firmware is now unhackable, ie once i changed the product code i was unable to chage it back to the original with NSS.
2. The network reception was absolute crap but little better, but even my very old nokia 3230 has a better reception than the n86 with the new firmware. Hopefully this will be addressed in the next update, if there is one.
3. I had to do a hard reset to play video recordings because strangely there would be no video only sound.

Pratik, like always the firmware for the Indian product codes is generally a little late. Even the N97 that came out last week isn’t available yet, although there are indications of a next week release.

My n86 says no updates available now..& i admit that its screen is superb..sharp & clear..far better than my old n85 & my new n97 resistive screen.although its 240*320 not 640*360 like n97.
