Many users at our Nokia N96 Forum have been complaining that there is no navi-wheel interaction, between many other bugs, so here’s good news for you: Nokia has released their first N96 software/firmware update.

The update is v11.018 from v10.065 but the change log isn’t available yet.

For those of you in UK that can’t get hold of a Nokia N96, there’s good news as well: Nokia has started retailing them at their Flagship stores in Regent Street and in Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. The official release date in UK is on the 1st of October which is when you will be able to buy the Nokia N96 in most telecommunications shops in the country.

There’s also a 3D demonstration available for you enthusiasts to enjoy.

    I got the N96 about 2 weeks ago.. its a fantastic device.. I had a N82 before that… not too much of a difference in software.. obviously, physically, the device looks very different.. and yes, no navi wheel interaction yet. the camera, though, is fantastic.. and starts up much quicker than any of the other nokia devices I have used so far.
