The Nokia N81 received a firmware update yesterday, on the 4th of July. The new update adds quite a few fun features, as well as plenty of stability improvements and whatnot. You can get the update through the Nokia Software Updater, which has an icon on the latest Nokia PC Suite (though, annoyingly, clicking on that takes you to the website to download and install NSU separately. Why isn’t it automatically included in PC Suite?)

V20.0.56 is now available, and pretties up the interface with new menu transitions. The transitions, which do not affect the speed of the UI at all, are a nice little feature, though nothing to get all in a huff about. The big news is the addition of Flash Lite 3 and support for Web RunTime, which offers a much more robust multimedia experience.
