Nokia has recently released firmware updates for two of its NSeries smartphones – N78 and N82. The N78 firmware has reached version 20.149.051.1 and among notable things updates Nokia Maps to version 2.0 and makes user interface more responsive. This includes faster transitions between screens.

As for the N82, firmware version 31.0.016 adds UDP (User Data Preservation), as well as an update to Nokia Maps, which in turn is more stable after the update. AllAboutSymbian has more details on this one.

Apart from the highlights mentioned above, new firmware versions also make sure overall stability is improved, as many of the known bugs have been fixed. Naturally, it is advised that you backup your device prior to hitting the “Update” button.
