Nokia has been working on readying a minor update for the Nokia Lumia 800 which is aimed at fixing an audio bug which has been plaguing users.
The update is also reported to include an improved camera app with new camera settings. An update to the camera was reported to be coming back in February and we are curious if this is it.
