Nokia has released a stylus, SU-36, for capacitive touchscreens. Really good for those who complain about new phones and their lack of stylus support. Nokia currently has three phones that sport a capacitive touchscreen: Nokia X6 16GB, Nokia X6 32GB and Nokia N8.
You can of course also use this on other manufacturers capacitive screens, like the Apple iPhone.
Nokia’s E75 got today updated to version 210.12.15.
Special character related issues are fixed, but I can’t go into more details
And I promised to add some information of what is in this release:
MfE client update, fixes for both HTML error message and special character related problems in some environment. There’s also some changes which reduce the amount of time which is spent during sync. The biggest thing is that this client update will also reduce the current consumption of the device significantly. I suggest that you enable the “always on” option for sync and see for yourselves. Of course the current consumption with other options (15min / 30min etc) are also improved.
Other things, like the accidental keypress filter have been improved which speeds up the SMS / email writing with QWERTY, GPS problems have been fixed, some VoIP and WLAN specific improvements etc.
Remember to make a backup of your system before updating.
