Major update for older Nokia phones

KrisW

According to Nokia's blog (
http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/29/updates-to-symbian-3-2-and-5-0/ ), owners of the most recent Series60 3rd Edition and Series 60 5th Edition phones will be seeing a very nice update soon. The two big-news items are:

- New, faster web browser (the same one that's going into the Symbian Anna release for the new phones)
- New Ovi Maps (3.4 for 3rd Edition phones, 3.6 for 5th Edition phones; 3.6 is the very latest version)

Rollout? Today, apparently, for C6-00 and 5230 (from Nokia this is a major shock), but the usual caveats about Operator-branded devices being later than SIM-free apply.

good news then for my nokia E51 and my nokia X6, especially the X6, i tried other browsers but i always came back to the default ones, for simplicity and handiness really, as even though for example i set opera or UC browser as default browser in apps manager, when i'd click on a link in an e-mail or text, it'd open the nokia browser every time...

Browser is definitely quicker on the E72, but cant see much improvement in the maps. Maybe over time will notice a bit more
