For all those who refuse to call the Nokia N9 dead, you have a great reason to celebrate as Nokia has just released an update to its MeeGo OS, PR1.3, a firmware update that’s been under the microscope at the Nokia offices for quite some time.
This update brings more than simple bug fixes, which is standard for these kinds of updates. This new version of the MeeGo OS boasts an impressive 1,000 “quality improvements, including mail, Facebook and Twitter.”
According to Nokia’s official support page, the update will also provide several network and connectivity enhancements, camera feature enhancements, higher volume, NFC fixes, better video decoding and more precise copy and paste, among a great many other enhancements. The update also fixes a number of bugs.
The OTA download is rolling out now, starting with unbranded devices (which means Tru users and users of other unlocked N9s on other networks will get the update first) and branching out from there.
As you might have noted already, we have now started rolling out a new update for N9 to 40.2012.21-3. This software release brings you over 1000 quality improvements, including Mail, Facebook, and Twitter, as well as several small network and connectivity improvements.

The update will be released in waves during the next few weeks, firstly to non-branded variants and later on for other variants as well. When an update is available a notification with the icon is shown in the Events view. Select the notification to view and install the update. Enjoy!
