All you N900 users out there rejoice! Nokia has announced a new software update for Nokia's Maemo based Internet tablet.


The new update will first be available in the UK and eventually reach N900 users in other parts of the globel. The  update, Version 1.2 (V10.2010.19-1), comes with a range of enhancements to the phone.


To begin with, the phone now gets new games apart from the ones already available via the Ovi Store.  These include Jurassic 3D Rollercoaster, Zen-bound, Angry Birds (level pack), Sygic, Kroll, Weatherbug, and GoGadget. Nokia has said that they have also made improvements to communication as well. 


Email has been improved with the ability to accept or decline an event invitation right within your inbox. The phone now also supports Facebook IM. This release brings with it video calling, a much sought after feature. Other improvements include support for portrait browsing on the internet. Even Ovi Maps has been updated with a new UI and features. Nokia has also changed the N900 menu structure with the first level now being made fully customisable.


Along with this update, Nokia has also clarified its stand regarding the future of the N900 with the upcoming MeeGo OS. They say that while the N900 has been used to test MeeGo for research and development purposes, the company doesn't have any plans to bring MeeGo to the N900.

Last night I had a blinking update sign on my N900. I clicked to update as I normally do. The update was 100% successful (Before this, my last update was on 2nd April 2010). As the phone re-booted itself I checked my messages and found that all my new messages have vanished from my Conversations & recently added contacts between 2nd April - 28th May but everything else is still there. My Backup reads as follows: Backup4 29/05/10 This is backup Carphone Warehouse tried (but took me back to settings as Backup 2) Backup3 28/05/10 This is yesterday backup which lost my messages - 4.3MB Backup2 03/04/10 Previous backup (the stage where my phone is now) - 3.4MB Backup1 22/03/10 Backup 30/01/10 I would appreciate any help!! Iv read loads of forums and apparently there is a way to retrieve everything but Im not too good at this!! My phone is under warranty but I don't mind paying to get the information back as its extremely important!
