Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has just announced that a new software update is being pushed out to its Nokia N9 users, the PR1.1 firmware that was made official a few weeks ago.
The company says that the update has started to make an appearance on devices out in the wild, and that the new features and improvements it packs inside will soon be delivered to more users out in the wild.
The update was already sent to some Nokia N9 devices out there (our review unit received it), and
should land on other devices as well in the coming days or weeks.
Among the main enhancements that the new software update is bound to deliver to devices, we can count the charging and calendar notifications that are now available on the standby screen, as well as music controls added to the lock screen.
Basically, users will be able to control what they are listening to without having to head over to the music player for that.
The release notes for the new update include:
- Chinese language support.
- More powerful multitasking with improved memory handling.
- Faster Mail for Exchange synch, synchronizing only active folders.
- Noise cancellation, reducing background noise so that callers can hear you better.
- Swipe down to close apps easily; now on by default.
- PLUS multiple improvements to the operating system.
Moreover, the new firmware brings on Nokia N9 a series of filters for making photography better than before, including black & white, sepia, vivid, negative and solarize.
Following the update, the MeeGo-based device will offer users the possibility to read NFC tags, not to mention that it provides them with the Swype keyboard for fast typing, as well as with the ability to share images via the Twitter application.
The update was made available for download via the Nokia Software Updater as well, although not all users will be able to see it right from the start. After all, the new firmware is being pushed out in phases.
