v3 f/w is out, anyone tried it yet?

My phone is due for a hard reset the web browser has once again decided that it will close as soon as I try to goto any web page.

Yeah, I have it.

Seems a bit faster than v21, no huge changes that I've come across.

BrentR, what product code(s) is this f/w available to?

Android user, software developer, a semi-typical (not a gamer) geek, and a Bernese Mountain Dog nut!

I've got it, and I don't really like it. I think V2 was more stable.

Although, my camera seems to be working a lot faster now. Other than that, my messages are a little slower

there is a changelog available here:
http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/009/07/firmware_update_for_e71_e66_change_log_is_in_da_house.htm

though I believe that this version is not yet hackable, unless you follow their instructions before updating (set installserver to read-only etc)

What are the benefits of hacking it in the first place?

I still don't see V3 as being worth the >117ish MB that it is.

I finally installed this after the large download. Not too much difference. Am a bit disappointed the facebook app is just a link the browser.... VOIP seems to be good but haven't played with it too much.

Cheers,

Matt.

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

I think I would be happier if I could actually UNINSTALL those links.

I have no use for them. I have another app that handles twitter + Facebook and stuff simultaneously.

Good to hear VOIP is improved though.. at least there was something good out of the large download.
