Firmware updates used to be a bit of a mess but since Diablo everything became a lot nicer and user friendly.
Thank you. So I will see on here that 'X wizzy update it a-coming' and then Mae (yeah, I already named her) will spot it and say "Can I? pretty please?" And I shall say "Later dear, when we get get home". Then on hitting my own wifi, I hit a few buttons, and she'll do the task herself.
Compared with previous firmware updates that sounds like a dream. (I recall the Treo600 update - I was so scared of bricking it I was err... passing bricks myself!)

I wonder why the tweet only mentions web browsing. Does this refer to an updated MicroB, or is it just talking about Fennec, for which we have already seen portrait screenshots? In other words, is this actually work by Nokia or not?
