Toto by už stálo za nový FIRMWARE:
Nokia N97 v2.0 firmware changelog - as it SHOULD be done. (Meaning: not real, fictional, etc - just so no one gets confused.)
General features
× visual tweaks: new themes, transition effects, landscape view sidebar size decreased, added more menu view options
× on-demand paging [gee, this was a huge boon on the N95, where is it from the N97??]
× gesture control: draw symbols to launch applications [we have a damn touchscreen, use it!]
× Smart Dialing
× QWERTY shortcut keys
× QWERTY long-press for secondary character [yes, this one's being done]
× global kinetic scrolling [yes, this one's being done too]
× virtual QWERTY keyboard [not seeing much chance for this, sadly, they're PRing the physical one too heavily]
× Camera button function to start secondary camera removed [am I the only one being annoyed by this?]
× all 3rd party applications can now be installed on mass memory too
× option to have individual languages installed/removed [there's a Dictionary app, but it's worth ***** if my phone doesn't support even displaying, say, Japanese characters...]
Widgets
× 2 different widget screen: organize offline and online activities much better
× new widgets [whatever you can think of - messaging, N-Gage, etc]
× run several instances of the same widget [am I alone using multiple email addresses? only one email widget can be displayed tho, meaning only one address...]
× fix for Calendar widget: word wrapping [why on earth isn't this default???]
Calendar
× color codes for different types of events
× display list of upcoming events, filter by type
Contacts
× editable labels
Music Player
× added Internet radio [not like I'm using this THAT much, but the N95 knew it, so why's it gone?]
× visual improvements: artist and track title information in Now Playing [or an entirely new design, have you seen LG's BL40 Music Player? kickin' ass...]
× speed tweaks: better file handling [have 3960 tracks now, and it's a pain in the ass - dread the new fw if it's gonna display even more album info in the lists....]
× Music Store removed from regions where it's generally not available [one of the most unnecessary stuffs in the phone as of now, it only takes me to a freakin' webpage that says the service is not available here...]
× support for more ID tags: album artist, disc number, year
× D-pad control [like it is in basically all S60 3rd Ed. devices, like the N95...happen to want to do that a lot, only to find that I can't.]
Browser
× speed tweaks [very slow when rendering pages]
× option to clear cache upon exiting [idk why this hasn't been implemented ages ago...]
Messaging
× fix for message store place [you know, set it to mass memory, connect phone to PC in Mass Storage mode - voilá, it reverted to C:]
× visual enhancement: displaying sender's photo instead of message icon, if available from Contacts
× threaded messages [anyone remembers Nokia Conversation from the Beta Labs?]
Photos
× merged with Videos - select type of media upon application start [either that, or get the video thumbnails the hell outta here!]
× "All Photos" display option
× new appearance [something classier than a flat panel, suiting a multimedia flagship much more, pweeze?]
× stability fixes (zooming, crashing) [zooming, and the picture returns to general overview; scrolling or zooming, application quits...anyone else having these?]
× autoscroll when bottom/top row is reached while marking items
Videos & TV
× removed, merged with Photos
GPS/Maps
× satellite lock tweaks/fixes [looks like it's still having troubles with that, for me anyways]
× free Drive and Walk navigations [my guess is that it SHOULD be at least 1 year, but 2-3 yrs sound more like it, actually...and lifetime? or that's just the dream-on category?]
N-Gage
× entirely new design [c'mon, that S60 v3 display is obnoxious]
× support for portrait mode [at least the frame app? i know games need the d-pad, but that should be a different story]
× games rewritten for new resolution [okay, daydreaming again, but it shouldn't be that difficult...?]
× functions and stability fixes [for some reason, I can't make it display point pickups in-game, for example]
Applications
× Notes - merged with Active Notes [you know, like SMS/MMS/email is merged into one Messaging thingy?]
× QuickOffice - full version added, installed on mass memory
× Adobe PDF - full version added, installed on mass memory
× Calculator - new, extended version [whatever happened to that nice new Java-based one from Beta Labs?]
× RealPlayer - support for more codecs: DivX/XviD, H.264, ...
× Log - now stores data on mass memory [one of the reasons for this being set to one day by many is that it's taking up phone memory space...]
× Download! - merged into OVI Store
× Drawing - option to send picture via MMS/email directly from application
× FM Transmitter - signal strength tweak [not sure if it can be done, but if so, please increase it please...?]
× brand new LifeBlog application [c'mon, "online as it happens", huge display, full qwerty - and I can't blog? wtf???]
× Application Manager: filter installed application by type (Symbian, Java, Widget)
× all 3rd party applications now removable [yes, the infamous JoikuSpot/Boingo/Qik triad, mainly]
Camera
× added smile detection function
× added multiple face detection function
× added touch focus function
× 120 fps video recording
× panoramic image creation
× HD video recording [with saving to newly supported formats, of course]
× GPS fixes for geotagging [again, dunno about others, but mine takes too long a time to get the position, and loses it too quickly]
