Somewhat bizarrely, Nokia Social 1.3 has received a formal release - through the Ovi Store, reports ZOMG, it's CJ. Build 1.3 (215) is now online and downloadable. Interestingly, build '215' is also available through Sw_update for the Nokia X7, so presumably we'll see this version through Sw_update for the likes of the N8, C7 and E7, in due course. There are some installation caveats and oddities though...

The previous latest Beta Labs build was '208' and, interestingly (and annoyingly), phones with this build are not offered the new version through Ovi Store - only 'Launch' is shown. So, if you really want the latest and greatest version of Nokia Social, you'll have to side-load it from the SIS file, like I did. The install over build '208' worked perfectly.

Also missing at this point is acknowledgement of the new version when starting the existing Nokia Social application, for updating in-app and over the air, but maybe this too will be switched on at some point?

Comments welcome on how well (or badly) the update went for you...
