Nokia_N96.jpg

Nokia has quietly released a major firmware update for the American version of its N96 smartphone, IntoMobile reports. Normally we don't report on firmware revisions for specific handsets. But this is a big one, improving everything from overall stability and responsiveness to the camera's image quality, Bluetooth compatibility, and the handset's auto-lock feature.

In addition, the latest N96 firmware update adds compatibility with Nokia's Mail on Ovi service, which lets owners sign up for new e-mail accounts directly from their devices. The revision also addresses a long list of specific bug fixes. The new N96 firmware update is now available via the Windows-based Nokia Software Updater.

The update is also available directly from the device.

Either by typing on the home screen *#0000# or by navigating the menu to Tools -> Utilities -> Device Manager. The device downloads the update over cellular or WLAN, and then proceeds to update itself.

Really snappy and smooth, much nicer than the PC updater, especially if one has a mac or a linux 'puter.
