Nokia N900 receives PR1.2 (10.2010.19-1) software update


An update has been made available for the Nokia N900 users OTA. The version is the much anticipate PR 1.2. Test builds of this update was leaked not very long ago and promised some much welcome features.

Now that it has been officially released lets see what this version has to offer:

  • New games join the veritable arcade already on offer in Ovi Store. Jurassic 3D Rollercoaster, Zen-bound, Angry Birds (level pack), Sygic, Kroll, Weatherbug, and GoGadget are all available to keep you entertained. Important to note though that Ovi Store will do a full switchover this week Thursday, May 27, so these games and other for-purchase apps will show up then.
    -
  • Improvements to communication. Email has been improved with the ability to accept or decline an event invitation right there in your inbox, and Facebook IM chat has also been bundled in. The release also brings with it video calling, allowing users face-to-face chatting anywhere.
    -
  • Portrait browsing on the internet is a-go on the N900. Ovi Maps also gets the update treatment with changes to the UI, improving the experience of finding your way around. And finally, there’s also a change to the menu system UI with the first level now customizable.
The disappointing news for all N900 users is that Meego will not be officially ported to N900 even though the N900 is being used to test the Meego platform. However Nokia promises to continue to support Maemo on the N900.
Even though Nokia hadn't officially promised to port Meego to the N900, the community was more than just expecting to see Meego introduced to their devices.
