According to website Symbian Freak, Nokia is releasing a new updated firmware for the N78. The firmware version will be 21.002 and should fix most if not all of the glitches and bugs of the previous version 20.149. Last we checked with Nokia there was no official release of the new firmware so this should be treated as a rumour only for now. A new firmware version is to be expected though since the last release left a lot to be desired with many bugs and odd glitches in 20.149. There is also no word if this release will be a global release or one based on certain product SKUs.
