Guys,
Just a quick heads up that this new fw finally became available for download in The Netherlands. They seem to have skipped one version, luckily

What is exactly improved since Organizer version R6F41 ?
Faster menu's? Higher sound level on music player? Better auto focus?
Am I advised to upgrade?
Thx! |

What I have noticed is that the overall speed has dramatically improved, speakersound is louder, multitasking better, camera autofocus and picture quality much better. With this latest fw it really is the best smartphone I have ever seen.
Only wished it had HSDPA and integrated GPS...
To answer your question, yes upgrade and you will not regret it!

I'm a bit late here i know, but since the phone is working fine i didn't see a need to update, although i'll check to see if an update for me is available.
One thing i am curious about actually, and the one thing that is slightly concerning this update is that my phone used to have a visible green tint, however after upgrading to the R9J005 and R6F41 firmware the green tint is not seen at all, still not perfect as there is a tiny bit of discolouration, but you wont notice it unless you look hard for it.
My concern is if i upgrade to this firmware what is the likelyhood of the green tint coming back? I know this is not an easy to answer question because no one quite knows what is causing it, and it has been with the phone since lanch. But I am very dubious about an upgrade.
Speed and performance increases, and the ability to move around the wallpaper is great, but i really dont want the green tint back. Has anyone got any advice? |

I haven't had the green tint from the beginning and did not get it with this new fw. I think it is pretty safe to install. My pictures are great.
By the way, what do you mean when you see "move around the wallpaper.."??

basically on older firwares, when you changed wallpapers you could pan the image to select the part of the wallpaper you wantd.
In the version i have you cannot pan the image instead it automatically centres on the image and that is what you have to use.
The newest firmware corrected that issue which the r9j005 bought with it. |

the 4 button problem was intoduced with this fw - along with a few other niggles but i think that the improvements to the camera are worth it.

The number 4 on the keypad should act as a shortcut to switch between focus modes, when in the camera app (press 0 to see them all), the problem being that in the lateast firmware, this shortcut doen't work.
Yes, this firmware has the 4 button problem.

The problem seems to be with the icon only. The shortcut still works as before, except the icon doesn't update until you've pressed the shutter to focus... |
