Nokia N78 "over-the-air"
Chnage Log for firmware v11.043 In Da House!!

Nokia N78 is the first S60 phone with the "over-the-air" software release that is not available through the Nokia Software Updater application but it doesn't means that there is no full change log.

Just a few days after the official firmware release I managed to get the full service bulletin with detailed change log that contains much more changes than the short Nokia report issued few days ago.

Unfortunately I had to remove few lines from the firmware change log that are confidential and aren't really interesting for public and as usually to protect it with few little changes.

Just released firmwareincludes improved stability with Bluetooth (headsets and car kits) and music (playback over a long time and content refresh). This release also includes optimized Camera performance and Naviscroll sensitivity improvements.

Telephony:

• Improved CLI.
• Slideshow wallpaper no longer causes in call device stability and audio problems.

Connectivity:

• Improved stability when using BT headsets.
• Voice tags now working with CK-7W and other BT car kits.

• Volume and time information is now displayed when playing video clips.

• Stability improved when using the camera.
• Camera drivers optimized.
