New firmware for N82 is on the way and brings bunch of new features including FL3 and WRT!!

I’m not sure is this a breaking news or not but I just got a tip from my friend that new firmware version for the Nokia N82 is on the way and brings bunch of new features including Flash Lite 3 and WRT (Web Run Time Widget), also they have added Location tagging functionality and support for BT AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) protocol.

Beside the mentioned new features, firmware 20.0.062 should improve the overall performance as well as fix known bugs and problems from the previous software versions.

As usually, new firmware version for Nokia N82 will be available progressively at the official Nokia Points and Nokia Service Points in the next few days and hopefully we will not have to wait too long for the NSU support.

That’s all for know; better read the full change log (protected) that comes from the first hand and very reliable source!
