Nokia N82 MCU SW v30.0.019
Change log is In Da House!!

Just to quickly inform you that I got the full change log of the latest available firmware for the Nokia N82.

Surprising early for the firmware released just a few days ago and surprising huge change log that brings lot of enhancements, bug fixes and bunch of updates for preinstalled ROM application and it is definitely highly suggestible to get it as soon as possible.

Firmware v30.0.019 for Nokia N82 is available through the Nokia Software Updater for the few generic product codes only and should be already available at the official Nokia Service Points.

In case you can’t wait to get the latest update you can easily change the product code to one of the EURO I codes via Nemises Nokia Service Suite which is also known as NSS and than update a phone via Nokia Software Updater.

Oh yes, the bad news is that this firmware is NOT HACKABLE at least it is confirmed that Hello Carbide method is not working so better think twice before the update if you one of those who prefer to have the unlimited system access.
