Thanks to Arjen for the news that in the last month there's been a major firmware update available (6.27) for the Nokia 9300(i) and 9500 communicators. No online update in this case though, you'll need to visit an official Nokia service centre. Read on for a summary of what's new.
I was told in a Nokia Service Centre that firmware 6.27 for 9500 has been called back by Nokia - so the 5.22 version remains in place. They commented that the reasons are not going to be communicated (I'm sure that was again a good example how "reliable" Nokia and how "professional" its engineers are...)
Just recieved back my Nokia 9500, 9300 and 9300i with the new firmware (6.27(00)) from a US company which provides this service.
It appears that all is fine - email display faster and WWW access much improved.
All three phones are working well with Blackberry Connect (Version - S80_BlackBerry(6.31.1_1)) and RoadSync (Version 2.003) with our Enterprise Exchange system.
No stability or program conflicts on either phone. Better than new!
Real Player never worked well but 5.22 killed it dead. Can anyone who has updated to the new firmware tell me if they repaired Real Player as part of the update? I would like to use Orbit with my Communicator but Real Player is the only Commi program that supports the streaming format it uses. It wasn't worth downgrading from 5.22 to be able to do it but it would be worth upgrading if it does.
Also, what are some of the web improvements if there is a new engine in the updated firmware? What kinds of things that didn't work before will work now?
For what it is worth I used IUnlock for my 5.22 upgrade and I was very pleased with their work and the speed of their service. I delayed upgrading forever because I didn't want to be without my 9500. If my experience is any guide you can trust those guys with your phone and they will get it back to you quickly.
Does Real Player Now Work?
Linear Mode
