Not an April Fool! Nokia E90 v200....
Published by Steve Litchfield at 8:11 UTC, April 3rd 2008
Users of non-network branded Nokia E90s should check NSU right now. There's a new firmware update, v200.34.72, with Flash Lite 3, a new Quickoffice, and more. More details below. No idea why they should jump from v7.4 right up to v200, though! Read on.... [Updated: the update seems to have been pulled]
- Flash Lite 3 added, with Flash video support
- Support for Web runtime is probably here as well, it tends to come along with FL3 - can anyone confirm this?
- Maps won't open (for me, at least), you get instructed to go to the web for the latest version. Clumsy. On the web, v1.0 is shown and v1.02 is served up, which at least installs and runs fine. I'm sure the latest v2.0 beta would, too.
- New 'Set up Internet telephony' shortcut on standby screen
- Includes Quickoffice 4.1.27.5, many enhancements over the old 3.85, although without the extra functions of the v4.5 and v5.0 paid upgrades. There are also extra options in Quickmanager, specifically more rebrands of Epocware products. The new Quickoffice is apparently back-ported from the version which will be standard in S60 3rd Edition FP2.
- Application opening and booting seem faster. I don't think that v200 has demand paging though - seems more like optimisations.
- A boat load of bug fixes and tweaks. The 'Today'/# bug in Calendar seems to have gone away. Anyone confirm this with a decent size Calendar dataset? Also, let's hope Web is more stable!
[UPDATE] This version seems to have been pulled from NSU. I've had several instances of Maps and Web just quitting for no reason, so I guess it's not quite ready for prime time.....

So how is it? I heard that keyboard shortcuts(Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.) did not work befeore, does it work now?

Does Flash Lite 3 allow you to play Scrabulous on Facebook?
slitchfield
Yes, Scrabulous kind of starts. But my Wi-Fi router seems to be blocking the game's Internet traffic. 8-(
So I can't confirm for definite!

Steve, which product code did you use and which Nokia website location did you use to check for the update? I've tried the Nokia Europe, Asia and Africa websites and used the 0533332 product code...no sign of any new update???
Please clarify....
Thanks

Ooh, no idea on product code, I just plugged my E90 in and away it went. Mine's a proto too, so its code is probably not relevant. Doubtless the new version will be rolled out on other regions and product codes in due course.

1. Youtube is a dream on the E90 now, much bettter than the small screen of the N95
2. Maps did start and run on my E90, no need to go online. I have version 1.2 installed.

tried this product code (0544489) and no new firmware for my e90 according to NSU. =(

I did what Steve said and just plugged in the E90 and run NSU...it detected the new firmware and installed it fine :-) I guess the software checker on Nokia's websites are not up to date. My advice would be to run the latest version of NSU and plugin the E90 via USB cable and it "should" detect the new firmware (depending on product code of course). Thanks.

It's not out yet for my product code 0544491, but does anyone know if access point groups are implemented in this update?

Can anyone confirm that when viewing YouTube in the native web browser and selecting a video to view, the RealPlayer application is launched and the video is viewed in there i.e. not embedded in the web browser?
Thanks
Thanks

Both N95s and now the E90 got the flashlite 3 treatment, how long will it be before the N82 follows suit.

flash video is played within the browser itself, just like on a desktop

On my updated E90, it loads the video into RealPlayer????
Are there any additional settings required to get the video to play in the web browser?

I put in http://www.youtube.com in the Web browser, but I have a feeling it is re-directing me to the mobile version, hence everything is being streamed as .3gp file. I don't know how to override the browser so it loads the desktop version of youtube???
I have noticed the desktop version of youtube.com (on my PC) currently has a white background page, where as the version on my E90 has a black background page.
Edit: It's ok, I have found the link to the desktop version at the bottom of the main page :-)

this new firmware is a beta-version, not yet public

Does the current permission hack still work?
Apparently V20 of n95 8gb's FW fixed it.

So the update appeared for me but after a back up of my phone and a restart of the application its back at the v7 firmware :S
Has it been quickly removed again?
Damn!
